Oops--a little late getting this up. 'Almost complete'.
10th Read the biography of Anne Bradstreet on page 108; then read ‘Verses upon the Burning of Our House’, page 109.
ASSIGNMENT: Write a 1 p. typed essay, due Monday 9 26: What does this poem reveal about Bradstreet’s faith in God?
What you need to accomplish in your essay includes:
1) Communicate an answer to the question: your THESIS
2) Explain HOW the poem does this—analysis and examples
3) Revise and edit your early draft(s) effectively.
FOR TOMORROW: 1) Be ready for vocab. quiz.
2) Read the assignment.
3) Outline the sequence of ideas in the poem—events and the writer’s responses.
Remember that you don’t have to understand every word and phrase of a text to understand its overall meaning.
11/12: We discussed: A) How to paraphrase and summarize another 'voice' in the conversation. You need to frame the summary/paraphrase in a way that supports your own argument, without distorting or falsifying the source. Don't quote out of context, don't fall victim to the 'closest cliche' method of interpretation. Let your reader know what the source actually said and thought, but also make your own view clear.
B) The outline and specific research plan that's due WED.
Fourth Period: Eighth Grade: Brainstorm, organize, then write a description of a trip you took. When you finish, review for Tuesday’s vocab quiz.
Fifth Period: Ninth Grade: Read the rest of the handout from Friday. As you read, make a list of things that differ from the biblical account of the creation. Then write a paragraph explaining some of the ways this story differs from the Bible.
When you finish, review for Tuesday’s vocab quiz.
