Using Extended Metaphors To Turn the Light On: August 27, 2019

Focus: How do we use slow reading to build complex thesis statements in A.P. Lit?

1. Warming up with the extended metaphor and "Light On"

2. Reading "Terminus" and puzzling together the extended metaphor

3. If time allows, organizing multiple meanings into complex thesis statements; using the new thesis rubric to edit our thesis statements and to address any questions (if we don't have time for this, then we will return to it next Tuesday)

HW:
1.  For Wednesday:

• Bring your laptop to class. We'll be looking at your college essay prompts.

2. For Friday:

• Reread Books 10, 11 and 12 in The Odyssey and prepare a Socratic ticket.
• For this week's ticket, please focus on one scene from Books 10, 11, or 12 (in other words, about 3-5 pages). You must use the Wilson translation.

• Fill a page with questions about this scene (diction, allegory, characterization, Foster stuff, etc). You can also ask fewer questions and brainstorm your responses underneath. Handwriting or typing is fine.

• Complete your next poetry response. If you type it, print it before class.

• BRING YOUR COPY OF THE ODYSSEY TO CLASS on Mondays and Fridays. You need to be reading the Emily Wilson version; let me know if you need to check out a school copy.
