2/24/15Do Now:- Hand in your Into the Wild
prediction Paragraph
Homework:• Read Chapter one• Into the Wild Vocabulary
Content Objective: Students will begin reading and understanding Into the Wild.
Language Objective: Students will use guided reading to ask questions and demonstrate their understanding. Students will use the guided reading questions to help them record their understanding.
- How is Into the Wild different from other books you have read?
- What text features do you notice?- Who is telling the story?- Why is the author writing this text?- When does the story start?- What confuses you?
Questions to Consider:
One cannot help but be struck by the variety of genres that are included in this non-fiction (prose writing that is based on facts, real events, and real people, such as biography or history) book.
It seems to be such a mix of different types of story: part survival, part journey, part coming of age, part man vs. nature, part nature documentary, and part philosophical reflections.
Genre(s):
Multigenre research paper is an alternative to the traditional five paragraph. It emphasizes the use of multiple genres to represent a given research topic. With this type of project, writers are expected to research their given topic and then present the information they gathered using a variety of genres, with an emphasis on writing and composition. The genres created to represent the topic can be put together through the creation of a theme and bracketed by an introduction and conclusion. This creates a unified research paper that avoids the structure of a traditional five paragraph essay.
Multigenre research paper:
First Person: The use of I, me, we and other first-person pronouns to relate the thoughts, experiences, and observations of a narrator in a work of fiction (a short story or novel) or nonfiction. (The Great Gatsby – Nick Carraway)Third Person: The third person point of view is a form of storytelling in which a narrator relates all action in third person, using third person pronouns such as "he" or "she." Third person point of view allows a writer more freedom in how a story is told. (Jon Krakauer – Into the Wild)
Point of View:
Technical term (Latin) for the epic convention of beginning "in the middle of things," rather than at the very start of the story. (Out of chronological order)
Examples:Homer's The Odyssey Dante's The Divine Comedy
