Taming of the Shrew
IB
English Classroom Blog
Blog
Instructions:
Make
sure you are following the directions on the Blog handout that is attached to
your syllabus and the directions below:
Blog
entries for each reading assignment are due the NIGHT BEFORE you have
class. For example, your first blog post
will need to be completed Sunday night 9/19 since we have class on Monday 9/20. You will earn a COMPLETION grade for
these--only posts completed ON TIME will be counted. Remember, the blog will "date and time
stamp" your entries so I will know if your post was, in fact, completed on
time.
At the
end of the unit, you will pick two of your posts to be turned in at the end of
the semester to be evaluated for a CONTENT grade. Only posts completed ON TIME (see above) are
eligible to be submitted.
For each
reading assignment you will be expected to find and respond to ONE PASSAGE from
the novel/play. You need to include the
passage (cite it correctly) and then write a 250-300 word analysis of the
quote. Go beyond the surface. Discuss the significance of the passage to
the chapter or novel as a whole, OR go in-depth and do a close-reading of the
passage to discuss the techniques Hesse uses AND the effect these have on YOU,
the reader! Remember to use your DIDLS
and SCASI notes to guide your analysis!
Also,
you will be required to RESPOND to 2 of your group members’ posts. Your responses should be 100-150 words in
length. In order to do this thoughtfully
and well, we’d like you to try using these sentence starters to help get you
started. Here they are. . .
· My idea is similar to (piggybacks on, is
like, complements, etc) your idea. For
example. . .
· We both think that ____________. However, I also think _____________ .
Evidence from the text to support this is . . .
· You make a very good point about
______________ . However, I’d like to argue that . . . .
· Another example from the text that would
also support your analysis is __________ .
I think this because . . .
· Your analysis is really interesting. It
made me think about (another section of the book, another text, a movie, an
experience I had, a story I heard on the news, the background presentation
about _______) because. . .
· I had a different reaction to this
passage. I think . . .
· The other literary
device/element/technique that I saw in this passage was __________. It affected mood and tone . . .
You will
be part of a blogging group--so it's easier to manage reading all those
posts! Remember your number when you
receive it--that is where you'll blog! :)
