*Bell Ringer: Collect
Perspective Journals (if
complete), question sheet
*Thesis and
Note-taking for the final
paper
*OMM Big Idea
assessment
*Work on
figuring out theme/thesis, taking notes, and starting the outline when done with assessment
THESIS CREATION:
*Assignment:
Compare (how they show the same theme) and Contrast (how they show era/how they
show theme differently) two selections
from two different eras
MY EXAMPLE:
*Selections:
“The Trial of Thomas-Builds-the-Fire”, “The Law of Life”, “Yellow Wallpaper”
*Theme:
‘Cultural’ beliefs followed blindly destroying the individual?; Society
silencing one who is different?
*Possible
thesis: “The Trial of Thomas-Builds-the-Fire,” “The Law of Life”, and “The
Yellow Wallpaper” embody the eras they were written in while emphasizing the
idea that when society blindly follows the beliefs of the majority, individuals
who don’t ‘fit’ are destroyed as well as displaying other similarities.
*Your thesis at
this point is a ROUGH DRAFT!! It can and
most likely will change as you develop
your body paragraphs
NOTE TAKING:
*Identify the
theme you are focusing on and the stories
*Look for
quotes/passages that you feel BEST show that theme, write down the page number
and why or highlight and write why next to it (choose more than you need so you
can pick what fits/what is best)
*Find other
similarities: write down quotes to use
*Remind
yourself the characteristics of the era you are looking at and find differences or
similarities between the stories with quotes that show these characteristics
(the era)
