Tuesday, October 3rd

Descriptive "place" paragraphs are due today.

We have also started on the techniques of narrative writing reading the chapter on Narrative Writing in College Writers book.

For today, we are going to look at a professional example of narrative writing.

1. You need to read "Revolt of Mother". 

2. In your notes, as you read, take notes on Freeman's use of narrative techniques and descriptive techniques. Be ready to discuss these on Thursday- Socratic seminar. 

3. Also answer the following questions in your notes:
- what do you think is Freeman's prevalent message that she is trying to make in "Revolt"?
- what are some of the narrative methods that Freeman employs to present this method?
- how do the narrative methods enhance Freeman's message?
-  how does "Revolt" function as a narrative? Ultimate purpose of telling this story?
