  3. What am I learning today? 8-5-14 • Writer’s Workshop: What is NARRATIVE? (2-3 minute quick write) • Overview of mini-narrative unit this week • Syllabus Overview – what did you annolight? • Key Element of Narrative (Today’s Lesson): VOICE • Pizza Quickwrite • Words to notice: Diction, Syntax, Imagery • Read Speaker 1’s description of pizza

  4. What am I learning today? 8-6-14 • Writer’s Workshop: In your own words, what are DICTION, SYNTAX, IMAGERY?

Write the definitions (or your best guess) in your own words. • Read excerpt from Speak aloud (except 2nd period)– discuss observations • Personal Nonfiction Narrative (Key terms: memoir, prose) • As I read the excerpt “My Name” from The House on Mango Street, annolightthe text– pay attention to her voice as evidenced by her DICTION, SYNTAX, and IMAGERY • Narrative Experience Brainstorm: Think of 1-2 memorable events in your life (nothing too graphic). Make a chart and list key details of each experience – everything you can remember • Select one experience (whatever you have the most details for) • Begin describing the event in writing, telling the story of the event • Your task: Use a variety of sentences (long, short, complex, etc.) and SHOW me the experience, don’t just tell me (use lots of good adjectives and strong verbs – paint a picture with images) • Your HOMEWORK: Finish writing your narrative (1 lengthy paragraph, about 10-15 good sentences) – we’ll go to the Media Center to type tomorrow

  6. What am I Learning today? 8-8-14 • Writer’s Workshop: Copy this excerpt, then tell me what “works” about it. Is it good, compelling, descriptive? Why? • “Calpurnia was something else…She was all angles and bones; she was nearsighted; she squinted; her hand was as wide as a bed slat and twice as hard…Our battles were epic and one-sided – Calpurnia always won. She had been with us ever since Jem was born, and I had felt her tyrannical presence as long as I could remember.” • – from To Kill a Mockingbird, p. 6 • MLA format and USA Test Prep Info Cards • Media Center – type narrative paragraphs (print when finished)

  7. What am I learning today? 8-11-14 • Writer’s Workshop: Carefully read this sentence from Sherlock Holmes. Make an observation about 1) Diction 2) Syntax 3) Imagery and 4) Tone • Watson's response to Holmes's reasoning is like that of a man who's just had a magician's trick explained to him: it all seems so clear after an explanation… though otherwise you'd never be able to guess how it's done. Conan Doyle repeats this formula many times to remind the reader that Holmes is always many steps ahead of everyone around him. • If you need to buy a vocab book, please bring $13 tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest • Sherlock Holmes article analysis: “The Logical Sherlock of our Time” • Read the article together as a class, annolighting as we read • When we finish, write a short summary paragraph (5 sentences or so) • Bring narrative paragraph, Sherlock Holmes book, and vocab $ or vocab book tomorrow!

How do you think Conan Doyle achieves this? • “I should be very much obliged if you would slip your revolver into your pocket. An Eley’s No. 2 is an excellent argument with gentlemen who can twist steel pokers into knots. That and a toothbrush are, I think, all that we need.”
