1. Crossover SAR Disney & Fairytales

2. All SARs are alike • You need: • Thesis • Evidence • Evidence • Insight • BUT! In a crossover OER, you aren’t just getting those for and/or from ONE reading passage, but TWO.

3. So how is it done? • Well the part of your thesis that comes from your brain must address both passages that are addressed in the question. • Then, your evidence needs to support BOTH passages. • Essentially you’ll have one evidence sentence for each passage – instead of two. • Your insight will need to tie both together.

4. Okay, that’s fine and dandy but that doesn’t mean much without an… • Example: Explain how the themes of Toy Story and Finding Nemo are similar. Use evidence from the movies to support your answer. • Let’s take two popular Disney movies and discuss their common themes • Toy Story • Finding Nemo -Sometimes in relationships, people with conflicting motivations have to learn to use conflicts to grow relationships. -You need determination to achieve goals. -Love makes us go to great lengths.

5. Evidence… • Now what elements of those movies help us see this theme? • Let’s put it in our own words • Why?

6. Insight • How is this important? • Without this, what would happen? • What have we learned? • Pick the answer you like best.

7. Now let’s put this together • What is our thesis? • How can we combine our evidence with our “why?” • Which insight best ties BOTH stories together?
