Wednesday 1/15 ~ Nonfiction Analysis

Reading Day!

Using the handout from class, choose four more short pieces. For each piece, list the following on a piece of notebook paper (to be turned in by the end of class).

For each piece, answer the following questions:

1. Which number is this piece?
2. What sensory images are present?
3. Is dialogue present? What does it show the reader?
4. Where does the author first hint at the significance of the experience?
5. What is the controlling impression (What is the author showing you about him/herself)?
6. What is the most powerful or memorable part of this piece?

Each person must turn in his/her own paper.
