Transcription de la présentation

  1. Journal Writing 101

  2. Include page numbers…and include them correctly!! • “They called him Moche the Beadle, as though he had never had a surname in his life” (1).

  3. NOT: “They called him Moche the Beadle, as though he had never had a surname in his life.” (1). • NOT: “They called him Moche the Beadle, as though he had never had a surname in his life.” pg.1

  4. Only include punctuation at the end of the quote when you have ! Or ? • “So many crazed men, so many cries, so much bestial brutality!” (32).

  5. Ideas for future journaling… • Include your thoughts as much as possible. This is a journal…how does the passage make you feel? • Questions…Include them! Question what you do not understand! I can respond to your questions when I read your journal. • Clearly state the literary term/key issue in the first sentence (topic sentence) of your discussion...UNDERLINE IT FROM NOW ON!

  6. Take notes as you read. • Use semicolons and conjunctive adverbs. • Use new vocabulary words you have learned!

  7. Chose literary devices that you can actually write about and discuss.

  8. Use single quotation marks to enclose quotes within another quotation. For example: “…there was nothing left of my ration, he did not even begin his own. ‘Personally, I’m not hungry,’ he said” (29).

  9. Student Example: Key Issue • Passage: “You must never lose faith, even when the sword hangs over your head. That’s the teaching of our sages” (20). • Discussion: • This quotation is an example of faith. The Jews’ faith is being tested because they are being punished and disrespected for their religious beliefs. In this quote, the Jewish person explains that nothing should make the prisoners lose their faith. Essentially, by mentioning a sword “hanging” over their heads, the Jewish people should even keep faith in a deadly situation. I think that it is more important to remain faithful even when death is amongst you because if you’re really a devoted disciple, you will stand up for what you believe in.

  10. Student Example: Literary Device • Passage: “This conversation cannot have lasted more than a few seconds. It had seemed like an eternity” (21). • Discussion: • This passage is an example of a simile and hyperbole. In this quote, a short conversation is compared to an eternity using the word ‘like,’ This shows that when you’re in pain or when you’re fearful, the time spent in this condition seems like it is lasting for an incredibly long period of time, or an eternity. The example is a hyperbole as well because it is an exaggeration. This conversation only lasted a short time, yet it felt so long because so many dreadful and horrifying events were happening. I would probably start to imagine things and confuse myself because of the horrors.

  11. Literature Circles 1.) Reader-Leader: Makes sure everyone is on task and all tasks are completed and turned in for that day. 2.) Character Keeper- Take detailed notes on every character using the characterization chart. 3. Allusion Expert: Research any unfamiliar references to certain people, places, etc. while reading. 4. Plot Coverage- Take notes on major events that occur in the story for each section.
