*Prompt:
*Pick one of
the texts that we read in this topic, “Cultural Encounters and Frontiers,” that
you believe communicates an important 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?
*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)
*I can analyze
how specific word choices build on one another to create a cumulative impact on
the overall meaning and tone of a text
*I can analyze
how the point of view of an author impacts his/her approach to a theme or topic
found in a particular time period
*I can analyze
how central ideas develop over the course of a text
*I can choose a
topic and id and select the most significant and relevant information to
develop and share with my audience
*I can present
my information in an objective tone and formal style that includes an
introduction statement/section, supporting details, varied transitions and
syntax, and a concluding statement/section
