Entry Task 9/15/15- Turn in your Interview Schedule half sheet.

2. Feedback:
Before you score them, answer the following questions completely: 1) Is there a minimum of 3 pieces of evidence and a maximum of 5? Point out of directions weren’t followed. Does each piece of evidence support the claim? Highlight or underline the strongest and most significant piece of evidence. Underneath the paragraph, explain what makes it most significant. 2) Does the commentary clearly explain how the evidence connects to the voice claim? Put a star next to the best commentary. Underneath the paragraph, explain what makes it the best.

3. Concluding sentence
Does the concluding sentence connect to the effect? Does the paragraph seem complete after the concluding sentence or does it abruptly end? Write feedback below the paragraph about the concluding sentence overall.

4. Once you get your paragraph back…
Look at the feedback on commentary. Put a number at the top, using the scale below. Scale from 1-3 : 1 being I don’t understand how to use commentary to analyze the evidence, 2 being I can do it, but it’s fairly basic 3 being I feel comfortable doing analysis within the commentary.

5. Now to revisit “Marigolds”
Turn to “Marigolds” on page 15. As you know, it is a coming of age story written by Eugenia Collier. While you quickly reread the story, I want you to highlight and annotate some evidence of diction, syntax, and imagery that creates the narrator’s voice and tone. All annotations should explain the inferences you can make about the quote in regards to voice, tone, character (personae).

6. Applicable versus Significant
Everyone has a tendency to grab the first few quotes they see that “fit” the claim. There’s nothing inherently wrong with this, but it does mean that you may not be finding the BEST evidence for your claim. Significant evidence supports your claim clearly. It allows you to make a strong argument.
Applicable versus Significant

7. Think about persuasion
Would someone’s random opinions be a better piece of evidence, or would tested, scientific fact be more persuasive? We all know which is stronger, but in literary analysis, we forget that maybe one specific quote will be better than a random quote found.

8. If this is your claim…
In “Marigolds,” Lizabeth’s voice is that of a reflective, thoughtful adult, but she recalls her experiences with the vivid detail of the child she was.

9. In a group of 4 (ish) Work together to find evidence for the claim: Need at least one significant example of diction and one for imagery that clearly shows voice.
You can use the organizer on Page 23, but the teacher wrap suggested a 3rd column, so I made a new one. Copy document titled 1.5_DictionVoiceChart_SB9
