Today's Class: October 28th
Sick kids developed into a sick me..
Today you are going to build a preliminary literary argument about Gilgamesh.
Simply, you are going to be answering the following prompts, but notice, they are evaluative.
By answering the prompt you are developing an argumentative CLAIM (remember, a claim/thesis is an answer to an intellectual question)
Once you answer the prompt, you are going to develop this argument with support (think of the extended paragraph structure). Your argument will need specific textual support, warrants, and transitions. Write until your argument is complete.
Make sure that you are citing your text correctly. The scenario for this text is that it is a work from an anthology with no author.
Focus upon BOTH your writing structure and your thought process.
You will answer two prompts and submit them via Google Docs to me. Lara.cole@lsr7.net
Prompt #1:
What characteristic of the EPIC HERO do you believe best embodies the character of Gilgamesh and why do you feel he is developed in this manner?
Prompt #2:
Do you feel that the character Gilgamesh is more a general archetype or a specific literary character? Why?

Class today: October 27th
I have sick kids at home today. Follow this process today as you tear into Gilgamesh.
1. Open up your notebook, Gilgamesh, and the EPIC notes link (they should also be in your notes).
With a partner (just one productive partner), start going through Gilgamesh with the conventions of the epic... On to general conventions and on.. You will be putting in specific examples of how these conventions are seen... Specific evidence. Textual evidence. This can be bullet pointed.. But thorough.
Finish by Tuesday.

For Monday, October 27th
1. Read Gilgamesh. Remember- 'reading' actually means annotating the text. As you annotate, you will need to bring in your new information and skills... what have you learned about the history of the time period? how is it reflected in the reading? What are the concerns of the people of the era? What literary aspects do you recognize? (bring in previous literary analysis skills)What about archetypes? Are you seeing any represented? How? What plot elements are important? What structural elements are important? Anything look familiar? Now on to the EPIC.. Epic structure? Epic Hero?
Do you see patterns? Look beyond the concrete.. Tear it apart..
Have fun with it. Be brave!

Homework for Thursday, October 16th
1. Pick your strongest thesis with what you feel has the strongest support sources. For that thesis/claim, you will be creating an annotated bibliography. This bibliography will contain the 3 sources you have already found, cited, and examined (in the previous class periods).
For THURSDAY- You need to have your FIRST ANNOTATION completed. You need to have it both saved in a Google Doc. and bring in a hard copy.
The things you need to focus on while doing this first annotation:
1. MLA FORMAT- Make sure that your formatting matches EXACTLY the sample you were given and/or the electronic samples found under "current assignment links". This means double/triple check the following: Headers (last name and page numbers); Paper heading (order, spacing, date format); Title format (location, spacing); Works Cited information for your source (location, formatting, hanging indent, spacing, punctuation, necessary information); Paper margins; Block formatting that align with the hanging indent of the citation (look at the sample.. second line of the citation.. the paragraphs are lined up under)
2. Three separate paragraphs: 1st- Summary of the article/source. 2nd- Assessment of the article/source. 3rd- Reflection and utilization plan for the article/source. The writing does not have to be as extensive as our "new normal" extended paragraph structure, but you do need to be implementing the general concepts of writing we have been covering (Making a point/topic sentences, transitions, 3rd person POV, explanations of 'How' and 'Why', etc.). Remember you need to have 2 direct quotes from the source in the annotation... integrated, contextualized, and cited properly (you should already have the in-text citation information). Do not put an extra space between paragraphs.
3. No need to be formal, but sketch out a quick outline for the annotation before writing. This will help you focus your purpose of the section, stay concise, and entertain the necessary information. When you start writing, you can then focus on writing conventions and formatting... you won't have to balance ideas in there as well (this is where things go wrong).
4. Remember tips that you have been learning along the way: *Introduction to authors and how to reference them after their introductions. WATCH YOUR PRONOUNING- Rule of thumb with pronouns.. Use a pronoun.. its ANTECEDENT (the word the pronoun replaces) must be IN the sentence with the pronoun or directly in the sentence before. *Remember Cole's Rules of Writing. *When in doubt-explain. *Proof read for simple errors.

Research Tips and Reminders!
Welcome, My Little Pop Tarts to the beautiful, yet maddening world of research!
Here are some reminders to help guide you as you make your way into this labyrinth..
1. Research is where the learning is now designed to occur. This is WHY it will be the staple in your classes/courses from this point forward. It demands you synthesize information. Remember, what you have been taught in this class, "The product is for the teacher/professor... the process is for the student" . Embrace this. If you think that research is 'hide and seek', you will be missing the purpose of research and often will be missing the research itself.
2. Do not look for your thesis/ when you research. Your thesis/claim is the conclusion, or the top of the ladder. You are looking for the rungs that lead you to the top.
3. Research will have a dual purpose for you for a while: A) Gather knowledge B) Secondary support for your argument. Know the difference in purpose in the sources you are gathering. Both will have to be cited.
4. When researching you will have to implement the ability to think abstractly at your argument before it is made concrete. What can help you is the "filing system". When you are writing an argument about Homeland Security, what other "file cabinets" may that topic be found? Immigration? Patriotism? Religion? Travel? Education? What about healthcare? Having the ability to have a 'shot gun' approach to research will help you broaden your perspectives.
5. This level of research (and beyond) is not a REPORT. Say that with me: "Researching no longer leads to a report". The shift in product demands a shift in approach to research. You are not reporting on the major exports of China. This is easy research. You are now researching the impact of technological exports of China on its agricultural importing. (Much different approach, huh? Think Bloom's)
6. Look to the BIBLIOGRAPHIES of the EXPERTS on the TOPIC! Once you find a fabulous source... look to their sources!
7. Remember your research QUESTION... your thesis/claim may become compromised as you research.. Researching can be a never ending process.. keep focused.
8. Set an end date on researching... meaning.. "I will be done with researching on this date".
9. To break down research, look at your thesis/claim in sections. You should have a broken down topic (do you need to address anything larger? anything smaller?). You have a distinct argument (What is the opposite side? What are the reasons for your argument? Data? Statistics? Reasons?) You have a blueprint? (This direction in itself can often give you a new framework to look at your topic, so look at it in isolation, too).
10. Remember: 2 things. Audience awareness. Cite everything that is not your original idea.
