  1. Analysis of Previous Extended Analysis Paragraphs: Theme • Overall Strengths: • Stronger arguments in your theme statements! • Good organization. Nearly everyone followed the correct organization format. • Overall Weaknesses: • Most of you need more detail in your explanations • Remember that your explanations have to connect back to your thesis (or in this case your theme) statements.

  2. Extended Paragraph:Diction/Mood Analysis • Think about yesterday’s exit slip question: • Why do you think Poe created a narrator who tells a story with so many different moods? • Let’s create a thesis statement that answers that question. Use the formula below to help you get started: • In ______________ (title) _____________ (author) uses _________________ (concrete issue or larger concrete idea in book) to reveal ________________________( abstract).

  3. Extended Paragraph:Diction/Mood Analysis • Discuss why you think Poe created a narrator who tells a story with so many different moods. What does this reveal about the narrator? • Uses this formula to write a thesis (argument) about the purpose of Poe’s use of multiple tones. • In ______________ (title) _____________ (author) uses _________________ (concrete issue or larger concrete idea in book) to reveal _____________________( abstract). • In “The Black Cat” Edgar Allan Poe uses diction to reveal the multiple moods of the manipulative, first person narrator.

  5. Thesis and Chunk 1 1. TS: Identify Theme Statement. Include the title of the work and author. (Use the sentence you created on the previous slide.) Mood Chunk 1: 2. SS: First paragraph or passage where the reader sees the narrator’s mood in the text. Example sentence: “The first mood the narrator’s diction demonstrates is _______________. At this point in the story…” 3. EX: List examples of diction from that paragraph that support the narrator’s mood at this point in the story Example starter sentence: “The narrator uses word like…” • Explain how that diction supports the narrator’s mood. Give details. Use the connotative associations of the words. This should be at least 2-3 sentences long. Example starter sentence: “The connotative meanings of (the first word you listed) are…” (Then be the commentator. Explain why those connotative meanings support your mood word.) • Repeat the same process for each of the diction words you mentioned. • Before you move on to your next chuck, check to make sure you connect your explanation back to your thesis.

  6. Chunk 2 **Remember to use transitional words to connect your chunks. Mood Chunk 2: 4. SS: Second paragraph/passage where the reader sees the narrator’s mood in the text. 5. EX: List examples of diction from that paragraph that support the narrator’s mood at this point in the story • Explain how that diction supports the narrator’s mood. Give details.

CS: Think about author’s purpose of including the various moods. What is the overall effect on the reader?

  8. How well do you understand this? Think about how well you understand this process. Evaluate your understanding on a scale of 1-10. Write your number at the end of your paragraph and explain why you feel that way. 1: I don’t understand this at all and I would not know how to start this if I had to do it on my own. 5: I grasp writing this type of writing, but I would need another walk through if I had to write this on my own. 10: I completely understand this. I could write a thesis paragraph without any guidance if I was given a passage I have never seen before.
