Prose Writing, Slowed Down Again: January 28, 2020

Focus: How can we improve our close readings of 19th century prose?

1. Warming up with a little Quizlet Live, Lists 1-3 (thanks to Kai for the cumulative list!)

2. Slowing down on a 19th century prose prompt; reading the first inch and the last inch for tone/shift (and offering a few strategies for dealing with confusing, old passages)

3. Enjoying a close reading drill (focus on Row 2 of the rubric) and perusing sample essays to see prose close reading in action

HW:
1. For TOMORROW: Study your first three vocabulary lists for a brief quiz.

2. For THURSDAY: Finish Part 1 (Chapters 13-18--it's a little under 50 pages) and complete your Socratic ticket. Everyone will submit a ticket that day.

3. THIS FRIDAY, JAN 31 WILL BE THE POEM METACOGNITIVE: Decide on your poetry paper/project poem and bring it to class. Remember that it should be from a different genre / time period than your 1st poem.

4. ONGOING: Serial Reading and scrolling through your first three vocabulary lists.
