English 11: Complete the quotation log . . .

Remember: DO A FANTASTIC JOB ON THE QUOTATION LOG AND THE ESSAY WRITES ITSELF! Yay.

For each quotation:

  • Cite it correctly with page number
  • Go beyond the obvious in your response 
  • Say what is happening 
  • Discuss the words in the quote (trotting, tearing, claws, skull-like) etc
  • Make connections to other parts of the book to build more evidence
  • State clearly what this quotation reveals about your topic
If you adhere to the above list, you are guaranteed 100% on the log and you have actually put a lot of thought into your essay before you write it, an act that imitates real writing and what a real writer does. 

TUESDAY: THE MOST IMPORTANT CLASS OF ALL TIME. DO NOT MISS IT.

Bring your completed log to class. Bring three different coloured high-liters.
Be ready to create a strong thesis.
