Formalist Analysis • Summarize “Speaking of Courage” & “Notes” • Create a Domain—Example—Purpose chart and create at least 5 rows (total for both chapters) • Choose several (at least 3) important quotes from these chapters and explain why you thought they were important • Make a claim about what you think O’Brien’s overall purpose was for these chapters and write one paragraph: • Treat this like a mini-essay: Topic sentence, thesis, example (with pg. reference), explain how example supports your thesis, conclusion. This should take up about ½ a page or more. • When you are done, put your bellwork journal in the milk crate at the front of the room. • Read “In the Field,” “Good Form,” and “Field Trip.”
