Citation/Blogging assignment: instructions, due date, and examples

Hi 12s,

Today we met with Ms. Love for the first of 3 sessions on blogging, our on-line persona, and citation (in-text as well as works cited in MLA and APA formats)

See below, the assignment you have been given. Note that you will email your work to Ms.Love. Additionally, I am linking up the sample paragraph/blog that Ms. Love has created for you.

For next class, create a blog account and begin writing (min. 2 paragraphs)

The assignment criteria and due date/method of submisson:

Some thoughts to consider ahead of the debate. Also look at the preceding post for dates

Hi 12s,

Here are some of the things we discussed during today's class:

English 12 The Taming of the Shrew

Final considerations:

·      What does it mean to be ‘Tamed?’

·      Who/what is typically tamed and how is this taming done?

·      Did anyone (in the play) require taming?  Why or why not? Use critical theory in your discussion.

Note the following sections:

Go through the things Kate says throughout the play. Consider her motivations. Take her at her word.

Below are some sections to note post marriage. See how both She and Petruchio conduct themselves. Consider motivations.

·      (4.1. 155-200)

·      (4.3. 5-60)

·      (4.3.70)

·      (4.3. 165-195)

·      (4.5. 1 -----)

·      (5. 1. 142-149)

·      (5.2. 11-37)

·      (5.2.100-end)

Define tamed. Is Kate tamed? If so, how? If not, why not and how do we know?

What role does gender, power, history, psychology play in the answers you give/the outcome of this play?

What purpose does the opening/induction, with Sly, play in the overall experience of The Taming of the Shrew?

Here is the first bit of the sample paragraph from last class. Thanks to Parisa for granting permission to share it. I'll get the rest up asap.

 

We will have our debate next class.
Last post has your dates.
Ms.S

TIMETABLE MODIFICATION AND 2A NOTES

Hello 12s,

In an attempt to redouble our efforts around structuring our writing, doing strong literary analysis, and engaging in meaningful discourse, I am altering the schedule for this unit. Please see the revised schedule below; please let me know of any conflicts you may see ASAP.

Feb. 7: 
-Hand in 2B
-review student samples for positive examples of formatting and analysis
- finish viewing the film.
- Consider, using critical theory, Is Kate Tamed? What does it mean to be tamed? Did anyone need  taming? 
-  Homework:Prepare quotes to support your view on whether Kate is or is not tamed. 

Feb. 11:
- Focus question #3?
- What does it mean to be 'tamed'? Work on a definition.
- Prep. Debate. For next class

Feb. 13:
- Class debate on essay topic.
Happy Family Day Long weekend.

Feb. 19:
- Final questions/discussions
- Create essay outlines to be used on test next block. Feb. 19.

Feb. 21: 
- In-class Essay test. (open book with brief outline)


Notes on 2A:

- tag

- Answer the question (embed it and use the same vocab.)

- Review the role of an introductory paragraph (lay out the plan)

- What about what Kate wants? Does?( Gender/power status quo, even among modern people, is concerning here,)

-Link each assertion back to thesis.

- Prove what you say! If Kate likes it, how can we know? Text and critical theory.

- Don’t declare what you can’t prove/suggest with analysis. Equivocation is often needed: "It is reasonable to assume that" ... or "her silence may be suggestive of..."
- Cite ALL SOURCES for your researced IDEAS  or WORDS.
