Digging - Homework and happy holiday!

Homework 5th Period - Compose connected universal theme statements for "Digging" that reflect the ideas you uncovered in your close reading.

Homework 6th, 7th, and 8th - Please finish answering the questions from class:
After you have made all of your annotations:
Diction - What words, upon closer inspection, truly stand out? How? (make a list of words and their connotations: ex. Gun = Weapon, Tool, Self Defense) Why these words as opposed to others?

Details: What details stand out the shape the speaker's perspective? What facts do they tell us? Are there signs?

Imagery: Annotate the poem for imagery (AVTKGO). What images does Heaney use? Do one or two types of imagery dominate? What is their effect/impact? Find tone words that characterize the imagery. What does the imagery communicate to the reader?

Repetition, Patterns, Comparisons - What impact do these elements have on the poem? on the reader?
Extended Metaphor? Conceit? 

Structure - Think of this like fiction; what is the narrative pattern of the whole the poem. What do you think he is trying to show us with this structure. Please find a verb or two to describe how this operates for the speaker in the poem.

Now put it together to communicate how the poem means thematically -

With a _______ tone in  "Digging" Heaney ___(verb about writing)__   (subject of the poem) with ________, ________  imagery connected to _________ to __________ that humans _________universal idea here_____.

For Monday 11/02

Socratic Circle - 

We will begin class with a discussion of theme as it's expressed by character, setting, motif, and symbol. Think in Context of ONE CHARACTER AND THE NOVEL AS A WHOLE. You will have three prompt choices.

*YOUR JOURNALS WILL BE DUE AFTER THE TIMED WRITING. 

There will be a MC test with it. Plan on one hour for both.

You will need to consider what it means to be an outsider to a community and how communities react to outsiders and how this would affect a character in a work.

You should also consider what Janie's choices in men say about her, society, and the theme of the work. How do men broaden her horizons.

You should also consider how a motif or symbol finds expression in a character and in the novel as a whole. What does this say about people, the world, and life in general?

POETRY JOURNAL

Due at the beginning of class. Make sure your questions are completely answered for the poetry beginning with "The Flea".
