Journal Prompt #12:School Lunch
State a conclusion you have drawn about the school lunch that you would like to share with the rest of us. Explain what specific and relevant details made you draw this conclusion.
We are beginning a new unit on evidence-based claims in the context of literary techniques. Evidence-based claims are much like themes or theses. An evidence-based claim states a conclusion you have come to and that you want others to think about.
There are generally five criteria for evidence-based claims. Check out this criteria checklist by clicking here.
We will be using two texts for this unit:
Click here to read "On the Rainy River" by Tim O'Brien
Click here to read "The Red Convertible" by Louise Erdrich.
We will begin with "The Red Convertible." Independently read to the top of page 4 through: "'Thanks for the extra key,' I'd said.'I'll put it up in your drawer just in case you need it.' He laughed."
Use these two questions to guide your reading:
- Who is telling the story? How would you characterize the narrator?
- What do details and language reveal about the point of view of the narrator?
* Memoirs!
* Five-paragraph thematic essay on Night. (100 points)
*"Redefining Faith" (3 paragraphs; 48 points)
*Independent reading book
Standards:
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.1
Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text, including determining where the text leaves matters uncertain.
