Project Sharing If you already turned in your project, then you don’t need to have it at your desk. At your table, provide both an OBJECTIVE and a SUBJECTIVE summary of a few sentences of your book. Take time to pass projects around so that others may look at them. When everyone has finished sharing: ONE person from the table should put the projects in the basket on my desk. BE SURE TO INCLUDE RUBRICS. If your project is in a format that is NOT the manila folder, then please make a note on the rubric what it is.

Identifiying Author’s Purpose: Assessment Read the article and answer the questions on the handout. If you feel like you need to write on the article, then that’s fine. If you write on the article, then keep it (We may use it again). If you don’t write on the article, put it in the pile on front table. Put your paper in the bin when you are finished. If you have handed in your paper, then you should work on the first page of the Text-Dependent Analysis Practice.

TDA Introduction MUST-DO This WILL be on the quiz Include title of piece (correctly punctuated) and author. Short, objective summary of piece to establish context for reader. Statement that shows that you understand the prompt and sets a purpose for writing. Preview of your main points that will be discussed in the body paragraphs (A brief thesis!).

Sample Prompt Both of these pieces involve the effects of television on culture; however, the authors’ perspectives on the topic differ. Write an essay analyzing the author’s perspective in each text. Be sure to cite evidence from the texts to support your response.

Sample Introduction Robert MacNeil, author of “The Trouble with Television,” and John Grisham, author of “A Painted House,” have very different perspectives on the effect of television on human beings. While MacNeil feels that television has hindered society, Grisham considers television an opportunity to learn more about the world.

TDA Introduction Practice Write your introduction in your packet. I am totally fine if you want to work with someone to refine ideas as long as that’s what you’re doing. PLEASE use me as a resource, as well. Pretty please. When you are finished, begin body paragraphs (You will have time to revise the next time you come to class).
