Honors 11--Monday, September 17

Objective: Practice extracting the theme from "The Lady of Shalott"

What we did today:
1- In small groups, practice topic--theme--thesis. Each student must show their own work.
2- Develop your thesis into a thesis driven analysis (3/4 -1 page hand-written)
 Your thesis statement will be the first sentence in your analysis. The rest of your paper will consist of quote sandwiches
  • mini-claim
  • example from text (quotes or references)
  • explanation/tie back to your claim-thesis
Homework: Pink Handout 
This will all be typed- 
 
Based on what you have learned about writing a literary analysis essay, explain why the different examples are categorized into the different sections. Explain what makes them effective or not. (The underlined sentences are thesis statements.)
Then look at your analysis and compare it to the examples on the handout—annotate your paper for strong, developing, and not yet examples. Then critique your paper.
