7 26 JANUARY 2016  Quickwrite: What is power? What makes a person powerful? How do people today obtain power? What are the consequences of someone having too much power?  Essential Questions: What are the Salem Witch Trials? What are the causes of “Witch Hunts”? What is the modern day equivalent of a “Witch Hunt”?

8 VOCABULARY  Conflict: literary element that involves a struggle between two opposing forces.  Protagonist: the central character or leading figure in poetry, narrative, novel or any other story. A protagonist is sometimes called a “hero” by the audience or readers.  Antagonist: a character or a group of characters which stand in opposition to the protagonist or the main character.  Exposition: a literary device used to introduce background information about events, settings, characters etc. to the audience or readers.

9  Symbolism: the use of symbols to signify ideas and qualities by giving them symbolic meanings that are different from their literal sense.  Foreshadowing: a literary device in which a writer gives an advance hint of what is to come later in the story.  Irony: a figure of speech in which words are used in such a way that their intended meaning is different from the actual meaning of the words (verbal irony). It may also be a situation that may end up in quite a different way than what is generally anticipated (situational irony). In simple words, it is a difference between the appearance and the reality.

10 TYPES OF CONFLICT  External Conflict: conflict between a character and an OUTSIDE force.  Internal Conflict (Person vs. Self): a character struggles within him/herself. Usually the character is pulled into two different courses of action or differing emotions which may lead to a dynamic change in the character.  Person vs. Person (AKA Man vs. Man): a character struggles with another. Usually the setting of “good” guy vs. “bad” guy.  Person vs. Nature: a character is struggling against the natural elements of the world. Most of the time this is depicted through a character simply trying to survive.  Person vs. Society: a character challenges a law, tradition, or institution. Usually this character will advocate for what they believe is right, even if it is against the majority of society.

11 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I READ? Inferences  Inference: A conclusion the reader is able to draw or come to based on the information given.  The information is not directly stated, but the writer does use figurative language and other writing techniques to give you “hints” to help you make your inference or draw your conclusion.

12 WHAT IS HAPPENING? 1. I think (what you think has happened) because (how do you know?).

13 WHAT IS HAPPENING? 2. How do these two people know one another? I think___________________ because___________________________.

14 EXAMPLES OF TEXTUAL EVIDENCE  Example: Based on what I saw in the picture, the man on the ground slipped and fell because the floor was wet.  Example: I believe the woman and child from the picture are grandma and grandson because they are hugging fiercely, the woman is older and has the look of a “grandmother,” and they are in a home-style setting.

15 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I READ?  Opinions  Opinion: judgments made about something stemming from a person’s own personal beliefs and values; what that person believes to be important/true.  Example: Pit bulldogs  Some people think they are scary dogs. OPINION  Some people think these dogs are very sweet and loveable. OPINION  Your OPINION is what YOU think or feel about a certain topic, idea, action, etc.

16 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I READ?  Stereotypes  Stereotype- a broad, over-generalization about a particular group of people or things.  EX- All jocks or athletes are dumb, women can’t drive, etc.  These stereotypes are usually untrue and can be very hurtful, so beware of them.

17 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I READ?  Facts  Fact: A statement that is known to be true.  How do we know if something is true?  We must PROVE IT!  This PROOF is what is known as our evidence.

18 WHAT IS TEXTUAL EVIDENCE?  Textual Evidence: finding support or “the proof” from the author or writer of a text to support or back up our facts and opinions.  If you’re going to make a judgment (creating an opinion), state a fact, or make an inference, you need to be able to state WHY you feel or believe what you are saying.

19 TEXTUAL EVIDENCE WORDS  Because...  The text stated...  According to the text...  The author said...  Based on what I read...  For example...  For instance...  On page____, the author said...  In paragraph ___, the author stated...  From the text, I can...  Based on what the author said...
