AGENDA—Students should: Turn in, discuss Homework: Question 4. Review summary statements, paragraphs 10 and 11. More work with appositives! Prose deconstructs Angelou.

HOMEWORK Finish reading the entire essay. Complete the “Prose Deconstructs Angelou” opinion chart.

Summary Statements—Example 11 Prose summarizes Caged Bird, which depicts Maya Angelou’s life growing up in Arkansas, then St. Louis, where “eight-year-old Maya was raped by her mother’s boyfriend.” Is the TONE of this statement POSITIVE, NEGATIVE, or NEUTRAL?

Quick Quiz Part 1 1. List two authors (besides Dante or Homer) that Prose likes or respects. 2. List two authors or book titles (besides Maya Angelou) that Prose does not like or respect.

Quick Quiz Part 1 1. List two authors (besides Dante or Homer) that Prose likes or respects. 2. List two authors or book titles (besides Maya Angelou) that Prose does not like or respect.

Answers to Quick Quiz questions 2. Authors or books that Prose does not like or respect include Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird; Alice Walker, A Separate Peace, the weaker novels of John Steinbeck, Ray Bradbury, and Ordinary People by Judith Guest.

Answers to Quick Quiz questions 3. Dante, whose full name was Dante Alighieri, was called the “Father of Italian language” and “The Supreme Poet.” Dante’s most famous work was The Divine Comedy. Homer was the Greek poet who wrote The Iliad and The Odyssey.

Creating Summary Statements What is the most important information from the paragraph? Should or could you use a direct quote as part of the summary statement?

Summary Statements—Example 10 Prose summarizes Caged Bird, which depicts Maya Angelou’s life growing up in Arkansas, then St. Louis, where “eight- year-old Maya was raped by her mother’s boyfriend.” Is the TONE of this statement POSITIVE, NEGATIVE, or NEUTRAL?

Summary Statements—Example 11 Prose sarcastically derides the text as being able to be discussed like it were an episode of Oprah, though it could be mined for discussions on racism, poverty, and overcoming abuse.

Summary Statements—Example 12 Prose dissects Angelou’s use of language, vilifying it for being awful in its use of “mixed metaphors,” “inaccurate similes,” and confusing language, the result being “terrifying.”

Summary Statements—Example 13 Making a crushing analogy— “[it’s like] inviting doctors convicted of malpractice to instruct our medical students”—Prose believes that students should read Angelou closely and realize that her writing is muddled and poorly crafted.
