1. Read "Graduation" by Maya Angelou in the Reading and Writing from Literature book- page 520.
The THREE major things that we are needing to work on and improve upon in our narrative writing are: 1. Having a central theme/thesis POINT that dictates the need for telling the story. 2. Showing not just telling. 3. Transitioning.
As you read "Graduation", please focus on these three aspects... They are really structural, content, and thematic..
Annotate your text thoroughly for these techniques and how she achieves them simultaneously, while creating an engaging narrative.
Remember: The specific techniques that we have been, when employed effectively and thoughtfully, are what allow success in audience engagement.
2. Review the sentence diagramming link.
Bring your book to class on Tuesday.
