2. Warm Up for 1/28/2016 Let’s say I was about to give you a pop quiz over literary terms, how would you do? HINT: Take five minutes to study your 75 literary terms!

7. Wuthering Heights Body Biographies In assigned teams, you will be creating a body biography to demonstrate high-level close reading and character analysis. Your group will receive a character and assigned “body parts” to analyze specific aspects of a character in Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights. Each body part needs to have a written response using claim, evidence (with an in-text parenthetical citation), and commentary.

8. How Do I Make a Body Biography? STEP ONE: STEP ONE: Tape butcher paper to the floor. One group member should lie on the paper while others draw an outline of the body in pencil. After the group member gets up, trace the outline with a marker so it will show. STEP TWO: STEP TWO: Find quotations/passages to illustrate the “body parts.” You will include these as evidence in your responses to the questions for your “body parts.” Place them strategically. STEP THREE: STEP THREE: Write a response using a claim to answer the question for your assigned “body part” using evidence and commentary. Write the citation in parentheses after each quotation or passage. STEP FOUR: STEP FOUR: Illustrate the character in the body biography using colors and features that are symbolic of the character. STEP FIVE: STEP FIVE: Group members should label the parts they worked on, and all members should sign the project on the poster. Individuals will receive grades based on the work that they contributed.

22. Warm Up for 2/4/2016 Take out your journals and show how you will embed the following quote: “Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living! You said I killed you – haunt me then!”(Bronte 124).

23. The Basics: Dropped Quotes Always integrate quotations into your text. NEVER just “drop” a quotation in your writing! In other words, don’t let a piece of textual evidence stand alone as its own sentence (unless it’s multiple sentences long). own words Use your own words to introduce a quotation in the sentence.

24. How To Improve Blending Quotes effective part Use only the most effective part of the quotation. smooth sentence Maintain a smooth sentence style. ellipses Remember to use ellipses if necessary. brackets [ ] Remember to use brackets [ ] if you add or change a word. signal phrases Use signal phrases which precede the quote.

25. Example from To Kill A Mockingbird Original example: Mr. Radley is an unattractive man. “He was a thin leathery man with colorless eyes, so colorless they did not reflect light” (Lee 32). Bad example! Why? The quote is just “dropped in.” It is also called “quote vomit.”

26. Example from TKAM (cont’d) Original — unblended: Mr. Radley is an unattractive man. “He was a thin leathery man with colorless eyes, so colorless they did not reflect light” (Lee 32). Smoother integration — well blended: Mr. Radley is unattractive, a “thin leathery man with colorless eyes” (Lee 32). The part about his eyes is omitted. Even smoother integration: Harper Lee describes Mr. Radley as “a thin leathery man with colorless eyes…[that] did not reflect light” (32).

27. Another Example Original: Hemingway hints of a storm on the move. “The shadow of a cloud moved across the field of grain” (Hemingway 179). Smoothly blended into sentence: A storm approaches the town as “the shadow of a cloud [moves] across the field of grain” (Hemingway 179) and Maggie turns back to the forest.

28. Using Signal Phrases Use signal phrases to blend the quote into the sentence, making it read smoothly: T.S. Eliot, in his “Talent and the Individual,” uses gender-specific language. He argues, for instance, that “no poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone. [Indeed,] his significance, his appreciation is the appreciation of his relation to the dead poets and artists” (Eliot 29). See how the signal phrase makes the sentence read smoother?

29. Practice (from real student essays!) Original: Night also represents the fire that killed so many people. “And just as the train stopped, this time we saw flames rising from a chimney into a dark sky” (Wiesel 28). A suggested revision: Wiesel suggests night represents death by fire as he and other passengers witness “flames rising from a chimney into a dark sky” which are no doubt burning people alive (Wiesel 28).

30. Original: You start to see this fairly early in the book. “What had happened to me? My father had been struck in front of me, and I had not even blinked” (Wiesel 39). A suggested revision: Elie is disgusted with himself when his father is beaten right “in front of [him], and [he] had not even blinked” (Wiesel 39). He begins to question his own values as his concern for his father appears to decrease. Practice (from real student essays!)

31. Original: Through out the book, most of the killings or horrible events, including Elie, occur during the night. “They must of taken him away before daybreak and taken him to the crematorium” (Wiesel 112). A suggested revision: Throughout the book, many horrible events including the killings occur during the night. Indeed, Wiesel tells of a man “taken…away before daybreak… to the crematorium” (Wiesel 112). Practice (from real student essays!)
