I will be working from home on a curriculum project but I’m still available for questions. Here’s what you’re working on:

Create a concept map that allows you to explore the ways that two different literary theory revealed insights into big ideas in your novel. Use your reader’s journals (If I have yours I’ve left them in the folder on the desk at the front of our room. You will need to return your reader’s journals if you want me to mark them.

If you need a reminder of what should be in your concept map. Take a look at this handout : Literary-Criticism-Concept-Map

I also have these handouts for you: POSTCOLONIAL FEMINIST ARCHETYPAL Literary Criticism

There will be big pieces of paper available for you on my desk.

Don’t focus on what the concept map looks like. Focus on the process and the ideas.

I did a partial exemplar for you to give you a sense of what it could look like and how it could lead you toward an essay idea.

I am happy to facetime with you guys or text via Remind if you need help. This is not an easy assignment. It requires a lot of concentration and it is a required part of the unit culminating task.

Tomorrow you will be expected to give me a working thesis.

Good luck!
