  4. End Goal: • You are going to present an “essay” complete with a thesis, topic sentences, scenes you will discuss and break down, and a conclusion (we’ll talk about this last one). • You will present this argument to the class for critique. The class will have questions. • I will have questions. I will play devil’s advocate and try to prove your argument is incorrect. • I will not hold back or “go easy” on you. Preparation will be everything. • The presentations must contain visuals so that we can see your quotations and information (thesis, ts., scenes, etc.), but the choice of visual is up to you.

  5. PROCESS TO GET THERE: • Your goal as a group is to share/discuss your RRNs, critique each others analysis, and decide the best possible themes surrounding our topics. I will provide class time for these discussions. • Your goal today and in the next few meetings should be to stockpile important scenes and begin to address why these scenes are relevant to the Book IV and how they develop a theme. • Use your RRNs and use your post-its, but don’t settle for your RRN scenes alone. You want the best scenes that align with your theme. • I am handing the responsibility of determining what’s important and true over to all of you. • This begins the eventual preparation for Catcher where I will give you no topics and minimal help to determine themes. Learn to use each other, and, perhaps more importantly, learn to critique each other harshly to get to the truth.

  6. START HERE: • You need to work together. Make plans, decide on a system of organizing yourselves, decide how you’ll keep track of your information, and make sure you can still function if one of you is absent. This task is too large for one person. • Exchange information so you can communicate

  7. When you go to present: • Your classmates and I are your audience. • Explain yourself clearly. • Prepare. • IMPORTANT: • Anticipate my questions / counterarguments. • You do not want to assume I won’t catch a major hole in your argument or gloss over any scene that disagrees with your main thesis. USE these scenes to help develop your argument instead of hiding from them.
