8. Charting text • Charting text basically means to break it down • When we chart a text, we closely read what is on the page to determine both what the characters are SAYING and what the characters are DOING • When charting text, we write what the characters are saying (by translating and summarizing) in the left margin, and write what the characters are doing (what is the purpose of the character’s words? What is he trying to do?) in the right margin

9. Class practice- SAYING • _________________ • You are a good person, Brutus • And I know you like to help people. • I want to talk to you about honor. • I know that virtue to be in you, Brutus, • As well as I do know your outward favour. • Well, honour is the subject of my story. • I cannot tell what you and other men • Think of this life; but, for my single self, • I had as lief not be as live to be • In awe of such a thing as I myself.

10. Class practice- DOING • _________________ • What is Cassius trying to DO with his words in this paragraph and HOW? • He’s trying to convince Brutus of something, and he is trying to relate to Brutus, “I don’t know about you, but……” • I know that virtue to be in you, Brutus, • As well as I do know your outward favour. • Well, honour is the subject of my story. • I cannot tell what you and other men • Think of this life; but, for my single self, • I had as lief not be as live to be • In awe of such a thing as I myself.

11. Group work- Chart the text • In your groups, you need to chart the text both LEFT and RIGHT • Again, LEFT= what the characters are SAYING (translate and summarize) • RIGHT= what characters are DOING (purpose of character’s words, what is he trying to do?) • *Note, when charting what the characters are DOING, be thinking about what argumentative appeal the character is using to convince or persuade
