1. Warm-Up
Get out the origin myth you wrote yesterday and put your name on it. I will collect momentarily.
Let’s name 5 things to look for when analyzing syntax.
Think-Pair-Share: WHY should we analyze an author’s syntax? How does it affect the text?

2. Today’s Agenda Read explorer narratives in textbook (pgs. 47-54)
With your group, discuss and answer questions 1-5 on pg Your group needs to submit 1 paper with the written answers. Each answer should include a quote that proves your answer.
Each group will be assigned a section to analyze for syntax and language
Once each table has shared with the class, each individual will write a claim-cite-clarify paragraph that describes the syntax and explains its effect on the text. (How does the sentence structure “match” the text?)

3. Homework
On your own, complete Writing Lesson on p Be sure your writing emulates the syntax and language we just observed.
