Still looking for THEME and EVIDENCE

Good morning,

Your homework last night was to read "The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin. Today you will work with your writing group to read it again. I put a copy of it in your writing group shared folder. Open docs and go to your shared writing group folder.

Work together to:

1. Find the theme of the story (try to agree on one)
2. Highlight evidence from the text to support your opinion.
3. Insert comments about the things you highlight to explain why you think those parts are evidence.
4. In your own English journal write a paragraph to explain the theme and the evidence you found to support it. (Your group can work together on the thesis.)

What does this say about life?

Good morning,

Yesterday we read The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin.  Today you need to work with a partner to answer this question:

What is the story saying about life?

You and your partner should collaborate on your answer using google docs and then copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) your answer into the form below. Your answer should be at least 2-3 paragraphs and include quotes from the story.


Form for submitting your answer.

So show me that you are making progress towards mastering standard 3.2. Can you read a story and identify the theme? Can you explain what the author is saying about life? Can you backup what you say with evidence (quotes) from the story?
