In this document, you will create an abstract of 1-2 paragraphs that analyze the literary element and central idea, of your choice, that is found in Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis." You may copy over the abstract you wrote in class into this document.


Remember, you will be graded on your topic sentence, your literary device and its connection to the central idea, your analysis of both the literary device and the central idea, and the relevance of the evidence you use.

Best of luck!

Hi All,

Friendly reminder to add two pieces of evidence for the opposing side to the bottom of your graphic organizer. Just evidence, no analysis needed.  

Read Text 1: “The Case For Paying College Athletes”. 
Annotate each component of argument by identifying the article’s position (claim), reasons, evidence, and acknowledgment of counterclaims, and rebuttals.  
Identify (highlight or underline) where in the text that you found each of these components.


Annotate on your digital copy of the article using either Kami, PDF Editor, or Google Docs

Your Task

Read the article assigned to you in Google Classroom and identify:
the supporting evidence that is relevant to the claim
Then explain why the evidence is relevant and how its used to support the author’s claims.

Remember: Relevant Evidence is

Pertinent to the topic of your paper.
In support of the argument you're advancing.
From a credible source.
Current (in most cases).
Specific, not general.

Your Task: After closely reading "The Tell-Tale Heart", write a well-developed, text-based
response of two paragraphs. In your response, identify a central idea in the text and analyze how
the author’s use of one writing strategy (literary element or literary technique or rhetorical device) develops
this central idea. Use strong and thorough evidence from the text to support your analysis. Do not simply
summarize the text. 

In your first paragraph, identify/analyze the central idea.
In your second paragraph, identify/analyze the author's use of a literary element to develop the central idea.


Guidelines:
Be sure to: 
• Identify a central idea in the text 
• Analyze how the author’s use of one writing strategy (literary element or literary technique or rhetorical
device) develops this central idea. Examples include: characterization, conflict, denotation/connotation,
metaphor, simile, irony, language use, point-of-view, setting, structure, symbolism, theme, tone, etc. 
• Use strong and thorough evidence from the text to support your analysis 
• Organize your ideas in a cohesive and coherent manner 
• Maintain a formal style of writing 
• Follow the conventions of standard written English

Describe the tone or attitude of Raleigh's poem ("The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd") using at least one specific example from the text.
