Bell Work: Pretend that you are a music producer. What genre of music would you produce? What kinds of instruments would you use? What kinds of rhythm would you use? What subjects might you write about? Write a paragraph describing the music and how it would reflect your identity.
Bell Work: “I used to like going to have my haircut. I liked the mirrors in the room and all the smells of lotions and shampoos. I liked to sit there-young and fresh and pretty-and see what the women were having done, to make themselves look younger and prettier. I liked the way my mother’s hairdresser teased me about boyfriends and dances. Not anymore, though. Somebody held the door open so my mother could wheel me in, and a few people who had met me came around to say how sorry they were. -Izzy, Willy-Nilly Cynthia Voigt • Which details support the attitude that the narrator used to like having her hair cut? Describe those details and their effectiveness.
Objective: Students will be able to analyze author’s voice by examining stylistic elements of non-print and print texts.

What is voice? An author’s voice is his or her unique use of language and style.
In fiction a narrator’s voice is developed by… • Their manner of speaking (formal, informal etc.) • Diction (Word Choice) • Detail • Figurative language • Imagery • Syntax (the ways words combine to form phrases, clauses, and sentences) • Tone
Diction What specific words in the passage help create a mental picture? “A redheaded woman was there with Trout. Kate could see her rummaging through the cabin, dumping drawers and knocking things from the shelves of cabinets.” -Louis Sachar, Holes How would the meaning of the sentence change if we changed some of the words? Ex. Kate could see her searching through the cabin, emptying drawers and taking things off of the shelves and cabinets.
Detail “She’s this wrinkled old bat with bad breath, so kids avoid her. I tried to sit downwind of her breath, but it was right after lunch and she kept burpin’ little bursts of garlic.” Sharon M. Draper, Tears of a Tiger Can you visualize the character described in this passage? What details help create this sketch?
Figurative Language “ “The camp faced a wide cove of white sand and palm trees. The bay was so perfectly blue, it looked like it had been retouched for a tourist brochure. Across the bay stood protective mountains, shoulder to shoulder, across the Concepcion peninsula.” How would the meaning of the third sentence change if it were written without using personification?
Imagery “Something warm was running across the backs of her hands. She saw with mounting horror that it was mixed slime and blood running from the dog’s mouth.” How does the imagery in this passage help create the horror of the situation?
Syntax “He found that he was often angry, now: irrationally angry at his groupmates, that they were satisfied with their lives which had none of the vibrance his own was taking on.” How would it change the effectiveness of the sentence if we rewrote it like this? He found that he was often irrationally angry at his groupmates because they were satisfied with their lives which had none of the vibrance his own was taking on.
Objective: Students will be able to determine the tone of a print text by analyzing the diction, details and imagery of selected texts.
Tone The attitude a speaker or writer takes toward a subject, character, or audience. Tone is described using a single adjective such as ironic, furious, pessimistic, joyful etc.
How do you determine an author’s tone? By examining… -diction -details -imagery
Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl I’m boiling with rage, and yet I mustn’t show it. I’d like to stamp my feet, scream, give Mummy a good shaking, cry, and I don’t know what else, because of the horrible words, mocking looks, and accusations which are leveled at me repeatedly every day, and find their mark, like shafts from a tightly strung bow, and which are just as hard to draw from my body.
Bullet or the Ballot by Malcolm X “No, I'm not an American. I'm one of the 22 million black people who are the victims of Americanism. One of the 22 million black people who are the victims of democracy, nothing but disguised hypocrisy. So, I'm not standing here speaking to you as an American, or a patriot, or a flag-saluter, or a flag-waver -- no, not I. I'm speaking as a victim of this American system. And I see America through the eyes of the victim. I don't see any American dream; I see an American nightmare.”
1. What is the author’s attitude towards the American Dream? Underline the diction that reveals this attitude.2. What is the tone of this passage? How do you know?
The navy guy and I told each other we were glad to’ve met each other. Which always kills me. I’m always saying “Glad to’ve met you” to somebody I’m not at all glad I met. If you want to stay alive, you have to say that stuff, though.

Bell work: What motivates people to vandalize public property? Remember your answer must be at least 50 words.
Reflection: Review your frayer model for the word “compassion.” Is developing compassion a part of growing up?
Close Reading: Of course I could not express the things that I knew about Miss Lottie as I stood there awkward and ashamed. The years have put words to the things I knew in that moment, and as I look back upon it, I know that that moment marked the end of innocence. Innocence involves an unseeing acceptance of things at face value, an ignorance of the area below the surface. In that humiliating moment I looked beyond myself and into the depths of another person. This was the beginning of compassion, and one cannot have both compassion and innocence.
Evaluate the following statement: “One cannot have both compassion and innocence.” (266). Rate your response on a 10 point scale. 10= strongly agree 1= strongly disagree
Rules for four corners: 1. Every student must choose a corner of the room that reflects their opinion of the statement provided. • Strongly agree • Agree • Strongly Disagree • Disagree 2. Each group should designate a timekeeper, a spokesperson, and a scribe. • Each group will take 5 minutes to come up with 3 pieces of evidence to persuade the other groups. • Each group will have 2 minute to present their arguments.
Bell work: Are the marigolds a symbol? If, so what do they symbolize? Remember your answer must be at least 50 words.
Close reading: The years have taken me worlds away from that time and that place, from the dust and squalor of our lives, and from the bright thing that I destroyed in a blind, childish striking out at God knows what. Miss Lottie died long ago and many years have passed since I last saw her hut, completely barren at last, for despite my wild contrition she never planted marigolds again. Yet, there are times when the image of those passionate yellow mounds returns with a painful poignancy. For one does not have to be ignorant and poor to find that his life is as barren as the dusty yards of our town. And I too have planted marigolds.
Reflection: What does Eugenia Collier mean when she says that she has “planted marigolds”? Explain.
