Great job working on commentary skills during the unit. I can see that you are starting to find more techniques and to question the author's choices. The next step is to sift through your findings and draw connections that you can organize into paragraphs. We'll tackle organization over the next week.
Tonight's journal should help us practice developing the purpose and, potentially, our topic sentences.
Read chapters 19 and 20
Make a list of all of the themes you can find. These should be one or two word entries. A good way to look for themes, is to examine the conflicts and how they are resolved or not, and/or the motifs present in the text.
Example:
The conflict: Logan struggles with Janie's unresponsive nature
The resolution: Logan demands Janie works with him which pushes her further away.
Theme: Passion
Motif: Pear Tree
Theme: Passion
After creating your list, choose three of the themes and write a theme statement for each one. The theme statement should be a sentence or two explaining what Hurston suggests about the theme.
When you are finished, consider pasting the journals into turnitin.com. They are officially due on Friday, but you may turn them in at any time.
Good luck,
Townzen
Hello, so I have all of my journals completed and I am ready to submit them to turn it in, but for some reason, when I try and type in the class ID and the password it says unable to locate class, please contact your instructor. This is me contacting my instructor. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this?

I forgot my e-mail and password for my old turnitin account. I'm trying to make a new one and it wants me to use a class id and password, but when i enter it, it tells me that they're incorrect. Can I get some help, please?
ReplyDeleteHey Ms. Townzen I'm still having trouble with turnitin.com I still can't find the class I would highly appreciate your help. Thank you.
