Page history last edited by Tammy Gillmore 13 years, 10 months ago

This Unit's Writing Assignment:

 

One blog post...with these five headings and analysis.

 

Day 1:  Detail

  • Check your Google Docs for the file I shared with you.  As I shared with "view" rights only, you will need to "make a copy of" and then proceed to work.
  • First, let's discuss an analysis of paragraph one together.
  • Then, you choose a passage.  Here are a few to consider...
    • Page 17:  the bunkhouse
    • Candy's dog
    • Slim
    • Curley's wife
      • one detail to note is that Steinbeck chose NOT to give her a name.  Why? 

 

Day 2:  Point of View

  • the perspective from which an author chooses to present an essay, story, or other piece of writing.
  • Check your Google Docs for the shared form on which to draft your notes.
  • May work on this assignment within your group.

 

Day 3:  Syntax

  • Add heading and draft your thoughts there.
  • Choose a passage in which to analzye Steinbeck's sentence patterns.
  • Check your Google Docs for the shared form on which to draft your notes. 
  • Why does Steinbeck use this particular syntactic patterns in this passage?

 

Day 4:  Tone

  • the author's attitude
  • Writers have to rely on the printed word to convey tone (not volume, gestures, or inflection). 
  • Check your Google Docs for teh shared form on which to draft your notes. 

 

Day 5:  Theme

  • For the novel, develop a theme, using one of the previous posts topics (detail, point of view, syntax, or tone) as further evidence to prove your theme.
