*Prayer--The Apostle's Creed as the Prologue to the Christian Story

1. Finish watching Act IV (film)

2. Short Analysis #2 Practice
Be sure to reference the PDF for quotes (do not use examples from the film) and reference the "Rhetorical Devices" in our Key Terms notes.
Be sure to apply a body-paragraph structure to your writing, which you can find here:

 A. Topic sentence: Argument + One Evidence from Thesis
    • Introduce your evidence
          B. Evidence (quote or idea), with citation: "Quote" (page number).
    • Commentary (at least twice as long as the evidence) - Explain how and/or why the evidence proves your argument.  NO PLOT SUMMARY.
          C. Second evidence (as defined above)
    • Commentary (as defined above)
          D. Concluding sentence – wrap up the paragraph and transition to the next body paragraph

Feedback on Short Analysis #1--
*Establish your own, unique argument!
*Base it in concrete evidence from the text (at least two quotes and two paraphrases)
*Properly cite all evidence (whether quotes or paraphrases) with parenthetical in-text citations
*Provide twice as much commentary as evidence in order to develop your own unique argument--don't merely repeat what happens in the evidence or what happens elsewhere in the play.

You may take this home, and will have the first 20 minutes of class tomorrow to finish before we dive into Act 5.

HW--Be prepared to finish Short Analysis #2 in class tomorrow; you will have 20 minutes.
