A Focus on Theme

I began the day by checking student notes for chapter 3 while students worked a short quotation analysis assignment. After a short discussion of chapter 3, students spent the rest of the period working with partners on the quotation analysis activity below.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) Choose two quotations from your notes on chapter three. For each quotation:
  • Copy it down neatly with the correct punctuation and citation.
  • Paraphrase the quotation.
  • Explain why it matters.
2) Choose one of your quotations and write it up using one of the theme frames from the back of your tan handout.
Both partners must have their own written work.
