Everyone welcome Ali Payne! She is
new to our class, not to our school.
Today we reviewed annotation
examples and went over the proper way to do them. We touched on these points:
·
Look for literary
devices (like the ones we took the pretest on)
·
Connect the story to
the guiding question
·
Connect Text-Text, Text-Self, Text-World and EXPLAIN
·
If you don’t want to
waste paper, you can copy and paste into a Google Doc and highlight and leave
comments.
·
Someone reading the
annotations should feel like they are having a conversation with the annotator
about the story
·
Go into depth about
thoughts on the story
Also, we signed up in Mrs. Smith’s
planner for an appointment to discuss and review PLN1.
Note: For
your PLN rewrite, you can revise it and post the original as a comment on the
revised one.
For the last part of class, we
all gathered in the center around a big red piece of paper with a box of
markers. We wrote our guiding question “How can literature be a motivator for
social change?” in the middle of the paper, then were asked to write examples,
imagery, etc. that related to the question and find the general meaning of
them.
Our ideas we as follows:
·
The Bible
provided a guideline for people to live their life.
·
Mein Kampf planted an idea in people’s heads that grew into an
entire society.
·
The Jungle brought
awareness to people about the meat industry.
·
To Kill a
Mockingbird alerted people about the
injustice against African Americans in the South and the persecution of the innocent.
·
1984 made people realize how technology and governmental
influence have grown substantially.
·
Newspapers and
magazines control what people know and how people think about the current
situation.
·
Brave New World warned about the importance of balance and the
impossibility of perfect stability.
·
Boos by Jodi Picoult
focus on controversial topics and morals.
Homework:
·
Read Gentlemen from Rio Medio and “annotate
you guts out”
·
If you haven’t already, make sure you make an appointment
with Mrs. Smith about your PLN1
