  1. Heroes eat Quote Sandwiches! Patterns in Writing

  2. What point are these men trying to make in their video?

  3. Quote Sandwiches Three easy steps to make your essays MUCH better: • Introduce the quote (this is new!) • Include the quote (just write the section you want!) • Comment on the quote (1-2 sentences. We’ve practiced this!)

  4. Step 1: INTRODUCING QUOTES • Some common ways to do so: • In Kite Runner, when [event] happens, [character] says, “…” • When [event] occurs, [Character] feels that, “…” • Use the author’s words to complete your own sentence: (Good for descriptions): • When Amir arrives back in Kabul, he sees his favorite restaurant still standing, but “its doors were padlocked, the windows shattered, and the letters K and R missing from its name.”

  5. Step 3: COMMENT STARTERS • This quote shows that…. • From [character’s] words, the reader discovers…. • This scene is important because…

  6. Why is this not a sandwiched quote? When Amir returns to Afghanistan, it is in shambles. He sees many terrible, shocking sights that make his beloved city almost unrecognizable. “I saw a dead body near the restaurant.”

  7. Why is this a poor example of a sandwich paragraph? • When Amir returns to Afghanistan, it is in shambles. “I saw a dead body near the restaurant.” Amir becomes even more upset when he sees that his own old home, in the Wazier Akbar Khan district, is still in fair condition, but only because the Taliban now lives there.

  8. Why is this a better example? • When Amir returns to Afghanistan, it is in shambles. He sees many terrible, shocking sights that make his beloved city almost unrecognizable. For example, within his first few minutes in the city, he says that ,“I saw a dead body near the restaurant.” This dead body on the streets shows how far Kabul has fallen since Amir left. The restaurant used to be a place where people could gather to enjoy each others’ company, but now it is just another place of death in Kabul.

  9. Now, make your own sandwich! • Return to the ‘Save the Last Word’ journal entry • Pick ONE quote you wrote that day • In today’s journal entry, turn that quote into a sandwich mini-paragraph with the three parts we discussed today: • Introduction/Context • The quote • Commentary that explains the quote’s significance

  10. The Hero’s Journey • -Recurring pattern in stories • -Made famous by Joseph Campbell • Three Main Elements: • The Departure • The Initiation (all the tough stuff!) • The Return

  11. In pop culture • In your small groups: • Agree on a story/movie to analyze • Lion King Toy Story Star Wars Lord of the Rings Finding Nemo Harry Potter Shrek • 2. Determine WHO the “hero” is • 3. Determine the SPECIFIC plot events that match up with our three stages (departure, initiation, return)

  12. To complicate matters…

  13. Ordinary World Call to Change Refusal of the Call Meeting the Mentor Crossing the Line Allies, Enemies, and Trials Facing the Darkness The Journey A New Perspective The Return

  14. The Hero’s Journey in Kite Runner • In your small groups: • Determine the SPECIFIC plots events in Kite Runner for your assigned part of the hero’s journey • Write the event(s) in your group’s spot on the board AND an illustration • Pick roles Introducer of names Explain topic Explain KR events Explain illustration

  15. Reflection • Why is the sandwich method of using quotes helpful? Do you already use it (or parts of it)? • How does the concept of the hero’s journey deepen your understanding of Kite Runner?
