THEN to create your paragraph:
Choose at least 1 of the questions below from in the #6 – HISTORICAL/BIOGRAPHICAL LENS ***I have narrowed the field of questions down this time to be specifically about connecting the author’s personal life to the text – use ONLY these questions this time! #6 – HISTORICAL/ BIOGRAPHICAL Lens (pick at least 1 question to build your paragraph around)
What direct connections can be made between the personal history of the author and the text?What inferences can be made from the text about the impact of the personal life events/circumstance on the author?How may the author’s culture, time, or personal experiences have influenced the text’s topics (both what is and is NOT said outright)?How may the author’s culture, time, or personal experiences have influenced the text’s writing style?Develop a response to the question(s) you chose that is guided by your dominant impressions / reactions to this pair of readings (the NOVEL and the BIOGRAPHY)Your topic sentence should make clear which lens question(s) you chose AND what your dominant impression / response isConnect pieces of textual evidence (quotes)** from the NOVEL to pieces of textual evidence (quotes)** from the BIO VIDEO Explain HOW those quotes helped you develop your response to the lens question:What do the quotes you chose mean?HOW could you tell that’s what they mean?HOW do the quotes you chose connect to each other? Connect your ideas into an organized paragraph with transition words/phrasesConclude your paragraph with a strong closing sentence that restates the main ideas of topic sentence in fresh wordingColor-code your paragraph according to the directions and models provided in the Color-Coding doc**To cite textual evidence from the novel, and use the author’s last name and the page numbers provided either in your real copy of the book OR the page numbers provided in our DIGITAL copy of the book. Either way a parenthetical citation would look like this (Fitzgerald 144) or (Fitzgerald 6), etc.
To cite the BIO VIDEO, since there are no page numbers, refer to the minutes and seconds in the video where you found your information. So a parenthetical citation would look like this (Biography 3:31) or (Biography 16:04), etc.
