English 9: Quotation Log One quotation plus an A response is due tomorrow . . .

Using the yellow sheet as your guide, choose one of your quotations, copy it out, cite it properly and write an "A" response in paragraph or point form.

Hand in this one quote and response so that I can mark it and give you feedback to determine whether you are on the right track.

Read the samples carefully. Think about the way we add opinions about quotes during class discussions.

Discuss:

Who is speaking and what is happening briefly but GO BEYOND THE OBVIOUS.  What does the quotation reveal about your topic? Be sure to say so. Discuss the tone, the word choice, the impact of the quotation on the character, link the quotation to other events in the novel.

IF YOU DO A GOOD JOB OF INTERPRETING EACH QUOTE, YOU WILL BE REALLY PREPARED TO START WRITING YOUR ESSAY.

Tomorrow: Arrive ready to complete the quotation log. We will not do USSR or vocabulary or journals tomorrow because we will treat the class like a test day.

You will write or type up your quotation log quickly so that we can start the essay on Thursday.

All 12 to 15 quotations, cited properly, plus responses are due Thursday.

They do not have to be typed.
