Fri. Feb. 8

BR:

Read quietly the reading strategies handouts on your desk. Choose two strategies to use that you might think could be helpful to your reading.

Essential Question: What strategies can I use to navigate difficult texts?

Agenda:
  • Group work: In different groups from yesterday, answering the following questions regarding the article you read:
    • What is the article spoofing?
    • What types of information does this article assume its audience already has?
    • What is this article's tone?
    • Which techniques of satire are used in this article?
  •  Brainstorm: Have your parents ever given you advice? 
  • Group Work: Choose what article you'd like to read. 
    • Underline phrases or sentences that characterize it as satirical.
    • In one sentence, summarize what serious commentary Twain is making. 
  • On your own: Research five political events that have happened recently. Locate caricatures for them and save the pictures.
