SENIOR PICTURES WILL BE TAKEN ON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12TH! 

1. Read and take notes on the SOAPSTONE analysis process. The link is found here: SOAPSTONE analysis

2. Do another reading of "Revolt of Mother" using the SOAPSTONE process. You are still examining the narrative techniques, but you are adding a level of the HOW and WHY.

This will help your examination of the text in your Socratic seminar.

3. For the Socratic seminar, you will have thoroughly annotated the use of descriptive/narrative writing techniques in Freeman's "Revolt of Mother" text. Remember you are identifying and evaluating the descriptive writing techniques... The HOW. The WHY!

Write 4 higher level questions asking the HOW and the WHY of these techniques.

4. We are studying this text as a sample of writing... we are not studying it for its overall literary/story purpose. We are looking at Freeman's writing style, so we can mirror the techniques as we work into our first paper. Study the techniques!!!

For FRIDAY:

1. Review the Personal Narrative Rubric. Look over the criteria on the far left column. This is what you will be targeting for in your writing. I WOULD... put these criterion in your NOTES!
Personal Narrative RUBRIC

2. You need to study/review/soak in the following Personal Narrative Outline example. PUT THIS IN YOUR NOTES: Personal Narrative OUTLINE
** This will be the outline format that we will be utilizing for the first paper.
