Great job on Friday in your Socratic seminar addressing The Taming of the Shrew! I have thoroughly loved watching you develop as thinkers and readers!
For Monday:
1. Pick one school of literary theory (avoid historical and biographical). Pick one question from this school and ask it of Taming. Make sure that it focuses upon the text. (Steps 1-2 of Writing)
2. Break down the issue that the question addresses to a manageable size (and specific). (Step 3 of Writing)
3. Answer the question as an arguable/analytic thesis. (Step 4 of Writing)
4. Construct a thorough outline supporting this thesis as if you were writing a full paper (Steps 5-6 of Writing). Be as clear and specific as possible. Make sure your focus is the text of Taming versus peripheral issues.
Have this all typed up for class on Monday.
