Sentence Expansion kernel=a simple sentence (subject + verb) The kernel will expand as you analyze each paragraph of “Bread” Let’s try paragraph 1 together…

Paragraph 1 Kernel: It loses value. What? The bread Where? In the kitchen Why? Because there is an excess of it.

We will now expand the kernel sentence into a complex sentence using the info from previous slide… Complex sentence: In the kitchen, the bread loses value because there is an excess of it. Supporting quote: “...and a heel of the rye you got last week, round as a full stomach then, now going mouldy.” Next, you will work with your shoulder partner to repeat the sentence expansion exercise for paragraphs 2-7.

Paragraphs 2-3 Kernel: It gains value What: When: Why: Complex sentence: Supporting quote:

Paragraphs 4 Kernel: It gains value What: Where: Why: Complex sentence: Supporting quote:

Paragraphs 5-6 Kernel: It gains value What: Where: Why: Complex sentence: Supporting quote:

First Day by Edward P. Jones Read the first paragraph of “The First Day,” on Handout 1.3A you picked up at the door and respond to the following question: Based on the details and language in the first paragraph, how do you know that this is not just another ordinary day in the narrator’s life? First Day by Edward P. Jones

First Day by Edward P. Jones Listen and follow along as I read the rest of “The First Day,” and respond to the following question: What telling details stood out to you on your first read? Highlight telling details, star things that seem important, underline main ideas, write notes, write question marks for parts you don’t understand…in other words, annotate while I read it to you. First Day by Edward P. Jones

First Day by Edward P. Jones Second Pass. Circle or highlight all the things the narrator’s mother does. First Day by Edward P. Jones

First Day by Edward P. Jones After Reading: Think for yourself, why do you think the story ends: “…I can still hear my mother’s footsteps above it all” instead of “.. my mother’s footsteps faded into the distance.” First Day by Edward P. Jones

First Day by Edward P. Jones Revisit the story to answer the following: Identify and highlight or circle all of the “this is my mother” moments, those specific instances when the narrator announces definitive moments that capture the essence of her mom. First Day by Edward P. Jones

First Day by Edward P. Jones Time out to talk about character traits: Happy Humorous Reserved Determined Sad Pleasing Disagreeable Lazy Bossy Persistent Dreamer Witty Fancy Helpful Energetic Character traits are aspects of personality. Plain Simple-minded Cheerful Excited Friendly Smart Studious Adventurous Impulsive Inventive Timid Creative Shy Examples: Thrilling Pitiful Intelligent Cooperative Demanding Daring Lovable Strict Bright Ambitious Thoughtful Serious Quiet Proud Funny Curious First Day by Edward P. Jones

First Day by Edward P. Jones Third Pass. Look back through the things the mother does (things you circled). What kind of person does those things? Give a characteristic word for each thing the mother does (you may repeat words). Stuck? Possible characteristic words: brave, strict, loving, careful, proud, cautious, determined, creative, serious, reckless, stubborn, honest, humble, doubtful, aggressive, pushy, ignorant, rude. First Day by Edward P. Jones

First Day by Edward P. Jones Revisit the story to answer the following: Next, write four of those quotations on Handout 1.3B. Determine character traits that those details reveal about the mother using the sentence kernels given to you on the handout: The narrator’s mother is ______. First Day by Edward P. Jones

First Day by Edward P. Jones Now use the frame on the handout to complete a complex sentence that includes the four adjectives you listed: Based on the narrator’s comments, she views her mother as _____, _____, _____, and _____. First Day by Edward P. Jones

First Day by Edward P. Jones Is there another side to the narrator’s mother that these quotes and adjectives don’t capture? Underline lines or phrases that reveal another side of the narrator’s mother – time when she would probably not be described as strict, proud, etc. First Day by Edward P. Jones

First Day by Edward P. Jones Beginning sentences with certain subordinating conjunctions (e.g., although, even though, while) will signal to readers that ere will be contrasting or contradictory information coming up later in the sentence (after the comma). Example: “Even though the narrator is young, she is wise beyond her years.” First Day by Edward P. Jones

First Day by Edward P. Jones On the blank page after the story, use this sentence frame to capture the contradictory traits of the mother: “While the narrator’s mother appears to be …(negative characteristic) when she … (what she does), she is revealed to be … (positive characteristic) when she ... (what she does). First Day by Edward P. Jones

First Day by Edward P. Jones Distinguishing between Independent and Dependent Clauses: Which of these sentence parts are independent and which are dependent? Independent (they can be complete sentences by themselves) Dependent (need more sentence parts to be a sentence). down New Jersey Avenue she takes my hand to begin my very first day of school long before I learned to be ashamed of my mother and we set off on an otherwise unremarkable September morning First Day by Edward P. Jones
