Thursday, Jan. 12 Agenda

}Bell Ringer: Summary vs. Analysis
}Writer’s Workshop (40 min)
Work time on Paper: first thing, write your thesis (revise it if necessary) as the first sentence on your draft
Intro notes (shared with you) –rough drafts of intro due Monday beginning of time and the body paras are due at the end of work time tomorrow (for me to read over the weekend)
}Epics: A long narrative poem recounting actions, travels, adventures, and heroic episodes (write definition on sheet in Reader’s Notebook)
On that same sheet, take notes from the chart on page 1094 –make a web if that helps you organize thoughts best.  Answer the question “What is an Epic Poem and what are its characteristics?”
}Epic Notes: Web on board

}Based on the information you have written on your web, brainstorm any stories, movies, books, etc that you know of that could fit into this definition (write these down on the same notes sheet)
