The Road by Cormac McCarthy BUTCHER PAPER ESSAY OUTLINES WITH ENVELOPE PAIRS/GROUPS

LITERARY CRITICAL ANALYSIS ESSAY A literary critical analysis explains a work of fiction, poetry or drama by means of interpretations. The goal of a literary analysis (as with any other analysis) is to broaden and deepen your understanding of a work of literature. Interpretations are developed by an in-depth examination of a text. An interpretation will be the thesis of your paper. Because an interpretation must be supported, the strength or weakness of your interpretation rests on the strength or weakness of your argument. In other words, you must organize a discussion that convinces the reader that your point of view is astute.

A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO ESSAYS – NOT A TYPICAL AP STYLE PROMPT There is no prompt other than “write an essay analyzing The Road.” You must conjure a thesis worthy of writing about on your own. An analytical paper breaks down an aspect, issue, or an idea into its component parts, evaluates the issue or idea, and presents this breakdown and evaluation to the audience.

TECHNIQUE/OUTLINE TO SUPPORT THESIS Create a meaningful thesis statement for a paper analyzing the novel and write it across the top of a piece of butcher paper. Your thesis should address the meaning of the work as a whole in some fashion. Make it LARGE ENOUGH for the WHOLE class to see from their desks. Note: You may want to organize your data/claims before you write your thesis.

TECHNIQUE/OUTLINE TO SUPPORT THESIS Take all your envelopes and quickly review all the slips of paper inside. Categorize the quotes from the envelopes in order to support that thesis in multiple ways. Once you have some "categories" and set aside duplicates, create topic sentences and write those on the butcher paper. (CLAIM) Tape or glue the slips of paper that support each of those topic sentences onto the butcher paper below the topic sentence. (DATA) Write explanations of the data. So what? (ANALYSIS)

CONTENT REQUIREMENTS POINTS Magical Thesis – 10 pts. Three solid topic sentences – 15 pts. At least two examples/pieces of evidence to support that topic sentence – well-explained -$$$ - 30 pts. Pithy, wise close to knock our socks off– 5 pts. Clear, knowledgeable presentation – 40 pts.

GET IN GROUPS/PAIRS BY TOPIC* Relationship Transformation Decay Ash & Fire Religion & Faith Elements of Style Symbols Dreams & Flashbacks Duality *Singletons can go solo or join together or join another pair.

PRESENTATION Write all group member names on the FRONT of the paper. Tape it to the wall securely. Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday in class time to work. Be prepared to share/discuss with the class Friday if needed – 10 min. or so per group. Can write yourselves additional notes to help your presentations.
