Wednesday, May 29 Agenda

}Bell Ringer: Explain Summary vs Analysis highlighting then Odyssey Intro Quiz

}Writer’s Workshop:

◦Summary vs. Analysis Highlighting

–print out body paragraphs and highlight for your conference with me (use 2 different color highlighters, one for summary and one for analysis, use the sheet you got Friday to help you determine the difference)

◦Finish rough draft (if you still haven’t)

◦Revise and edit your own work (can be based on peer revision)

◦Meet w/ me about summary vs. analysis highlighting

◦Work on making this the best thing you’ve written

            ◦You need to aim for 30% summary/textual evidence and 70% analysis and original               opinion/thought

◦Intro Examples (shared with you)

◦Works Cited page reminder (only one entry –the book)

◦Conferring –if you need to confer with me and already have, we can. If you haven’t met with me about summary vs analysis, you MUST

◦Self-edit

◦Peer-edit with someone you trust (and use the peer revision option in Turnitin)

◦Revising Ideas:

–Print out your draft, read the last sentence first, then the second to last, and so on.  This allows you to focus on the structure of the sentence rather than the content of information.

–Share your document with a peer you trust, have them comment on it.

–Write your thesis next to each chunk of analysis, helping you make sure that the analysis is directly related to your thesis.

◦Paper Due Friday/Monday

}Odyssey:

◦Epic Posters

◦Epic Characteristics Review, Archetype review (do you have notes sheet?)

◦Timeline/story map notes

◦Read all italicized information on pages 1104-1112 as a class (in the online text -in Classroom- it is 1204-1212).  While reading take notice of how epic characteristics are shown, what happens in the plot (on timeline/story map)
