Thursday 11/15
Welcome. Pease take out the worksheet “Prewriting Character
Analysis”. I will show you one example
then you will complete this on your own.
Once this is done and I have looked at it, you should begin your first rough
draft of the essay where you bring everything together. Use the essay I gave you yesterday as an
example.
Rough draft work
USE TRANSITIONS!!!
HW: Read/log/post it
150 minutes due Monday
(period 3)
300 minutes due Monday after
Thanksgiving (periods 8.9)
Example:
Adjective: Trusting (how I describe my character)
Example—she turns back on
him when purse is there
Brings him home with her (an
example of when this is shown)
Quote: “She did not watch
the boy to see if he was going to run now, nor did she watch the purse she left
behind on the daybed” p 79 (a
quote from the book that shows the character trait)
Explanation: This act of
leaving her purse there was pretty risky but she needs to convey to Roger that
she trusts he will make the right choice.
It works because he doesn’t take it and run, instead we get the real
sense that he respects her more for it, which goes to show if we treat others
well, they will often treat us better…(this
is where you explain the quote and how it shows your lesson)
