Assignment 2: Blackberries By Yusef Komunyakaa packet link
Remember the Process from last class:
1. Using a 15 second time limit circle words that jump from the page. Are these words positive or negative? Why did these words stand out? Then share with your group partners.
2. Read the prompt. Identify what you are reading for.
3. Read and annotate the poem (or passage for prose as the process does not change). Make sure you have notes on Speaker, Imagery, Selection of Detail, Diction, and Syntax (where it's relevant).
4. Discuss the passage with your group and make additions as necessary.
5. Compose a thesis and a quick outline for an essay on the back of the prompt.
6. Share your Thesis. Then find three people from other groups to provide feedback.
7. Write your essay.
Complete Steps 1 - 5, then 6, then 7.
