English 9 Day 35
Objective: To review key events in part 1 and formulate thesis statement in preparation for EA
Part 1 Review
• Pair up!
• Each pair will be given a chapter from Part 1. In 10 minutes, come up with a few key events from the chapter or a summary of the chapter.
• 2 = chapters 1 and 2
• 3-10 = number of chapter (i.e. 3s do chapter 3)
• Jacks = chapter 11
• Each group share your ideas.
Big Ideas
• You each have a list of important passages from Part 1.
• Read them and decide on a few categories for the quotes. (a quote could go into more than one category)
• Place the quotes in the appropriate category.
• We will add to these as we read.
Analysis Essay
• Write a passage analysis of a key coming-of-age scene from To Kill a Mockingbird. After annotating the text to analyze Harper Lee’s use of literary elements in your selected passage, write an essay explaining how the literary elements in this passage help develop a theme or key idea in the novel.
• Looking at the passages we have, choose one to work with as a class.
• Copy it. Annotate it.
• What key idea does it convey?
• How is it a coming of age moment?
• What literary devices does the author use?
• What is the effect of these devices?
• How is this passage connected to a larger, important idea or message?
• Now, decide on a potential thesis statement we can use.
• Remember: a thesis statement
• Is the main idea for the entire essay
• Must include your main points (topics for body paragraphs)
