Objective: Write an analytical paragraph comparing/contrasting "The New Colossus" and "Shut the Door."
Learning Outcomes:
I can…
- Write a strong thesis statement
- Use evidence to support my thinking
- Properly cite/introduce evidence
We started the period by reviewing the thesis statements you drafted (or should have) on Monday. They are all found here. Your statement is one sentence, maybe two sentences, that articulately and academically sums up what you seek to address in your writing; your claim. It is DEBATABLE - DEFENSIBLE - COMPELLING.
Next, we reviewed the prompt: Does the central message of Senator Smith’s speech align with the theme of “The New Colossus”?
Your paragraph must:
- Identify two ways in which these texts agree or disagree with one another
- Include a clear thesis statement
- Include strong evidence from both texts
- Include clear analysis linking the evidence you have selected back to your thesis
I introduced the concept of the TEPAC Model using the Slides found here.
After, I modeled the process, thinking aloud, using the TEPAC Chart template (here's my model).
Your task is to complete a draft of your paragraph and turn it on on Google Classroom (it's posted as an assignment). Copy/paste your finished paragraph into your notebook as well and add it to the table of contents.

Periods 3 and 4:
Text: Fahrenheit 451, pages 48-63
Objective: Analyze Beatty’s lecture, identifying the three reasons he gives for the
government turning to censorship.
Learning Outcomes:
I can annotate what the author is saying.
I can ask questions while reading for meaning.
I can identify and analyze literary devices. (Pay close attention to what Bradbury does)
Our primary focus today was reading and annotating the section. Although there were no notebook prompts, I did ask you to consider asking questions ("In My Head") using this document as a guide.
If you are absent, you need to read through page 63 or you will be very lost if you return tomorrow.

Period 6:
Objective: Write an analytical paragraph analyzing how Steinbeck using literary devices to imply a theme in The Pearl.
Learning Outcomes:
I can…
- Write a strong thesis statement
- Use evidence to support my thinking
- Properly cite/introduce evidence
We started the period by unpacking the prompt. What does it mean? What do I have to know?
Then, we made a thesis statement together. Your statement is one sentence, maybe two sentences, that articulately and academically sums up what you seek to address in your writing; your claim. It is DEBATABLE - DEFENSIBLE - COMPELLING.
Next, we reviewed the prompt: Write an analytical paragraph analyzing how Steinbeck using literary devices to imply a theme in The Pearl.
Your paragraph must:
- Identify two ways in which these texts agree or disagree with one another
- Include a clear thesis statement
- Include strong evidence from both texts
- Include clear analysis linking the evidence you have selected back to your thesis
