Overview:
This week we read “Still I Rise” – Maya Angelou. We walked through a variety of annotation models together. Students focused on close reading and analyzing diction, syntax, style and tone. We analyzed the idea of “Struggle and success” as a theme and how the text employs specific patterns, words, or phrases to depict both. Students cited textual evidence to complement their analysis of the literature. We discussed the “SOAPSTone” strategy and explored Article of the Week through group and class reading.
