Presentation Transcript

  1. Monday, February 8, 2010 Photography and the California DReam

  2. Folder Check • Take out anything that is not attached and put it into your folder • Put today’s draft into the folder at the end of class. • Remember that you will be giving me your draft—so make notes on a separate piece of paper (or bring two copies of your draft to class each day)

  3. Death and Huck Finn • Discuss the poetry and art of Emily Grangerford? Use the notes to put her “art” and Huck’s description of it in its specific cultural context. • Now compare these romanticized / gothic representations of death with the reality of death in the novel (who dies and how? How does Huck react to these deaths?). What do you think the text tells us about death in America in the mid to late 19th century?

  4. Drafting Paragraphs • Read a paragraph from the sample essay • Does the topic sentence answer a guiding question—”What does ______ (ID of passage) tell us about _________ in Hobomok?” • Are short snippets of evidence from the text integrated into sentences that interpret and explain how that evidence supports the topic sentence? • Does the paragraph integrate appropriate scholarly and cultural background from appropriate textual notes and/or other materials? • Now ask the same questions about your paragraphs—discuss your paragraph with a group member (or 2 or 3…)

  5. Signifying • See note 151/424 for example / definition • How would you compare Uncle Julius and Jim in terms of this concept? Are they both signifying? Why or why not? • More broadly, what other distinctions do you see between Julius and Jim? How would you connect these differences to Chesnutt and Twain?

  6. Topics in Today’s Reading • Pokeville Camp Meeting and Religion in America • “Royalty” and the American economy • Sherburn and Law in America • Wilks women and Twain’s vision of 19th century femininity

  7. Next • Continue Huck Finn • Accompanying women’s fiction • Continue the drafts (revise today’s work and expand to hit our next goal) • Learning Community • Blog
