*Bell Ringer:
Discuss with neighbor what you feel is the message about ‘cultural encounters
and frontiers’ that General History and Pocahontas show?
*ACT Writing Discussion: Three perspectives on/messages of
Cultural Encounters shown by the texts we read (ALL or a majority)
*Final Topic
Essay (ACT essay format) Prep: Essay will be Friday
*Prompt:
*Pick one of
the texts that we read in this topic, “Cultural Encounters and Frontiers,” that
you believe communicates an important, in-depth message about it (the
topic). What is that
message and why do you feel it is important? How do they approach that idea and
how do their ideas and words (textual evidence) impact the overall
meaning and feeling of the piece? Connect and compare that message to the three perspectives/messages
created as a
class.
*How do they
show the idea, what message do they give about the topic through their words
and how is that proof it is the best example?
Potential
Texts: Native American myths, “Trial of Thomas Builds-the-Fire”, Louise Erdrich poem, Simon
Ortiz poem (or combine the two poems together), “The Very Brief Relation of the
Devastation of the Indes”,
“Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano”, “General History of Virginia…”,
Pocahontas along with “General History”(can’t just do Pocahontas on own)
