AGENDA 11/17

Analyze and compose body paragraph for Mary Oliver "Owls" passage in small groups
Review components of rhetorical analysis body paragraph:

1a) (OPTIONAL--if you're feeling fancy) Thematic sentence expressing ideas of passage
1) Opening claim that includes both a technique and purpose
2) Meaningful 1/2 sentence to introduce sentence-length quotation that shows technique in action
3) Return to quotation to discuss connotations of particular words - why THAT word choice?
4) Conclude paragraph by exploring significance of ideas or use of that technique -- why is THAT technique used HERE? How does it add to/convey the author's overall purpose or message?

HW: Due TOMORROW: All 6 sets of research notes in either SOAPSTone or REALM style, in MLA format w/ citation at top. Bring in sources (if printed) and introduction paragraph too. 30 points!
