2: After vocabulary today, we spent the remaining part of the class completing individual close reads on passages from Edna's now sleepless journey. From the board, you practice close reading strategies by marking (circling, underlining, waves, notes - whatever works for you) words and phrases reflecting characterization, motifs, themes, and anything else that connects to literary analysis. Then, you practice verbal analysis by making observations about your close reading (excellent practice for your verbal essay, which will be soon). We made it through half the passages today, so we will finish those up tomorrow. For reading, you will need to be through chapter 31 for tomorrow - watch how Edna shakes up her life even more!
5: After vocabulary today, our class centered around paper meetings and ways to improve your writing in the next prompt. Now, we will not have another written prompts for a bit (that verbal one will take the place of a written essay); however, all these tips and tricks may help you with your daily discussions and how to present a literary element, provide evidence, and analyze it effectively. In the last moments, we had another individual close read to practice close reading and verbal analysis skills. We will finish those tomorrow. In addition, make sure to have read through Chapter 31 - we are making our way through this awakening!
