Presentation transcript:

“Champion of the World” Objective: To construct a rhetorical analysis on a narrative after completing a close reading, using a jigsaw answers to questions, and discussing in small groups the effects and connections

Quickwrite How do you see yourself belonging to groups? What groups do you belong to, and how do you know you're a member? Consider groups based on race, ethnic background, religion, sports, hobbies, politics, friendship, kinship, or any other ties. Do these create closer bonds in a community or do they distinguish and separate the group? Can it do both?

Academic Language Colloquial Hyperbole Verbs Symbols and Metaphors Background information: What do you know about Joe Lewis?

“Champion of the World” pages 110-114 Follow along as I read aloud Think about how you might answer some of the questions your peers asked

Jigsaw Discussion Questions Point to some examples of strong verbs and explain how those verbs develop the story. How are they both literal and symbolic? How does Angelou’s use of nonstandard English contribute to her narrative? Explain your reasoning. How do they both unify and segregate? What can you infer from the exaggerations of paragraphs 16-17 and the obliqueness of paragraph 28 How do they represent the life and times of African Americans during this time period?

Writing Prompt Angelou does not directly describe relations between African Americans and whites, yet her essay implies quite a lot. Write an analysis in which you explain the rhetorical techniques (verbs, nonstandard English—colloquialisms, and exaggerations—hyperbole) Angelou uses to develop her message. When you finish, READ!!
