9/21

I'm sorry I didn't post this on Friday; I saved it as a draft!!
Remember, your outlines are due tomorrow!!

Here's what I had on the board:
After you find all the techniques and your big mama effect...
Format a thesis.
2 formats:
1. Discuss development, change over the passage and then explain effect.
OR
2. Tell us your primary techniques and then explain effect.

If you choose to do Option 1: here's how you can begin organization:
-Find major changes in the passage. Think about: subject, POV, tone, narrative, character, dialogue to narration, juxtaposition, etc.
-Make each change a new paragraph.
-Create a topic sentence for each paragraph. This topic sentence should be a mini-thesis that builds to your major effect.
-Add your quotations. These should be TECHNIQUES that connect to your TOPIC SENTENCE and, then, to your THESIS.


If you choose to do Option 2:
-Make a paragraph for each technique.
-Give a topic sentence demonstrating how that technique helps develop your technique.
-Add your quotations. THEY SHOULD CONNECT TO YOUR TOPIC SENTENCE AND THEN EFFECT!

REMEMBER TO USE AT LEAST 10 EXAMPLES OF THE TEXT. These examples can be 2 words, 1 word, a group of words, a sentence, whatever.


Here's the example again:

In the passage, Hurston characterizes Janie first as an observer of life, then as an instructor for the lives of others, and, ultimately, the master of her own existence; Hurston demonstrates that Janie must be an active participant in her fate, her horizon, to take control of her soul.

P1: Reassure facts, observes “Now, Pheoby…shine down yo’ throat”.

P2: How to live, advise “It’s uh known fact…fuh theyselves”.

P3: Narrative break, reflection “There was a finished…fell black and headlong down the stairs”.

P4: Movement, room, LIVES “Now, in her room…Thinking”.

P5: Imagery, impermanence of life, death, necessity for control “The day of the gun…Here was peace”.

P6: Horizon, CONTROL “She pulled in…come and see”.
