BIG SURPRISE PARAGRAPH IN CLASS TODAY! Based on chapters 10, 11, and 12 or more if you have read ahead, discuss the impact (effect) Mr. Pignati is having on John and Lorraine, in a literary paragraph of 250-350 words.
As soon as you see the words, literary paragraph, you know to turn to several sheets in your notebook or on the English website www.claremont-school.ca/english Handouts such as our literary must-haves list, our how to cite sheet, how to incorporate quotes, transition sheet and our vocabulary list. Always a good idea to have a thesaurus handy for synonyms, too.
First, create a WHAT / So What chart (worth 20 marks) On the evidence side (WHAT) have your best five pieces of evidence (Mr. Pignati's behaviour, remarks, etc) that influence these troubled teens. ON the so what side of your chart, write why each piece of evidence is important. What does it reveal? Include at least one quotation from the novel which is cited correctly.
You may start with this hook or use your own
" . . . maybe as simple as Mr. Pignati [is], he [knows] something about love and having fun that other poeple [do] not" (92). YOU WILL HAVE TO CREATE YOUR OWN THESIS. REMEMBER, A THESIS MUST ANSWER THE QUESTION WITH INSIGHT.
Homework: Read chapters 13 and 14 and write a 100 word informal diary entry from Mr. Pignati's point of view to show how he is feeling about his realtionship with John and Lorraine.
REMEMBER, INFORMAL DOES NOT MEAN INCORRECT. SPELLING, GRAMMAR, DICTION AND SENTENCE VARIETY ARE ALWAYS IMPORTANT.
