Periods 1 and 2:
Text: "Hello, My Name Is..." by Jason Kim
Objective:  Analyze an author’s style.
Success Criteria:  

• I can annotate what the author is saying.
• I can ask questions while reading for meaning. 
• I can identify and analyze literary devices. 

See today's Slides here. If absent, read and follow the directions Slides 8-10.

Here is my example for the style analysis chart in the notes. 

Quote Find a quote that demonstrates style. Use an ellipsis to cut unnecessary segments as needed. Always include a page or paragraph #.	Technique Possible techniques: repetition, metaphor, simile, personification, imagery, diction, symbolism, etc	Analysis What is the impact of the author’s use of this technique? Use specific words and phrases from the quote within your analysis. Try to write 2-3 complex sentences.
How do you understand yourself in a diverse country that actively chooses to ignore your particular kind of diversity? (Paragraph 22)	Rhetorical Question	By him asking this rhetorical question, the reader can tell that he’s struggling with the idea of being, at once, both Korean and American. He feels that America, or at least American “Hollywood” ignores his culture and by being an Asian in the film industry, he is sort of a stand-out figure. He also seems to imply that it shouldn’t be that way, pointing to how this further complicates his understanding of his own identity as an actor/writer and Korean-American.

Periods 3 and 4:
Texts: Student analytical paragraph samples
Objective:
1. Evaluate the work of others in order to better understand the expectation and to plan for the next analytical prompts.
2. In a paragraph, write a well-developed response in which you describe and analyze how Bradbury develops one of Montag’s conflicts (as demonstrated between pages 63-75).

At the beginning of class, we evaluated two paragraphs from the opposite class period:
Read the two paragraphs provided from another period. 
Identify the required elements of the response. 
Reflect: One praise, one question, one wish.

After sharing out, I introduced the following analysis prompt: 

In a paragraph, write a well-developed response in which you describe and analyze how Bradbury develops one of Montag’s conflicts (as demonstrated between pages 63-75).

Your response to this prompt is due by the time you walk in tomorrow or NO GRADE will be given. It is to be written on a Google Document and submitted in Classroom. The rubric for grading is also available.
