4 Four Corners 1.Rate each statement 1 = completely disagree 2 = mostly disagree 3 = mostly agree 4 = completely agree 2.Write why you believe this next to the 3 statements Ms. W says 3.Go to corner where others have same answer 4.2 minutes to discuss reasons why 5.After 3 discussions, write RAPT-style response to answer the question, “Which statement do you disagree with the most passionately?”

5 Which do you passionately agree or disagree with? Why do feel that way? (their reason) What is a real-life example of this situation?

6 Pablo mostly agrees that stereotypes are accurate and fair because he feels that many of the people he encounters turn out to be the way he expects them to be. If they appear quiet, he assumes they are shy. Often, he discovers that they are quiet because they are shy compared to people like himself to who talk a lot. RA P T

10 Multiple Choice 1.C - Main Idea – “America is beginning to manufacture more goods once again.” 2.B - Supporting Detail 3.C – Persuade readers 4.B – Statistic all the sales for every month had to be calculated and compared 5.C – Metaphor 6.A – Historical Info – what happened 20 years ago 7.B – Statistic percentage of people said… 8.B – Nonfiction Persuasive

11 Example of thorough explanation… In the article, Kita says, “[i]n a recent Harris poll of more than 2,000 U.S. consumers, 75% said they’d be willing to pay more for American-made products.” If we charge more for our products, we will have more money circulating, which would lead to opening more manufacturing businesses. This would create more jobs for America and improve our economy.

16 Text Evidence (quote or summary from the story) Craft used Explanation (+) How does this text evidence prove there is disparity between whites and immigrants in the story? Elena sits on the fire escape at El Building, looking down longingly from high above at the house and yard where white families live. Imagery (you can SEE the author’s words) The image of Elena sitting on the fire escape looking down longingly from afar on the lives of the white families living in the house emphasizes the distance that separates immigrants like Elena from the American Dream. The house and yard may be next door to El Building, but a wide gulf separates the lives of the Puerto Rican immigrants in the squalid El Building from the lives of the whites in the house next door. ACTIVITY: What can you infer? Question: How does Ortiz let the reader know there are disparities (inequality) between whites and immigrants like Elena?

20 Writing Instruction & Practice Whenever you speak or write, assume your audience doesn’t have a clue what you are talking/writing about. R If you don’t restate the question somewhere in your response, your audience will spend most of their time trying to figure out what you’re talking/writing about. A If you don’t answer in detail, they will only get a superficial (fluffy) idea of what you’re thinking. P If you don’t use an example or evidence, they will think you don’t really have any proof to back up your idea. T If you don’t thoroughly explain your proof, they will wonder whether it really proves what you’re saying or whether you just threw something out there hoping it will help prove your point.

21 Question: How does Ortiz let the reader know there are disparities (inequality) between whites and immigrants like Elena? Example of well-written response: Ortiz illustrates the disparity between immigrants’ and white American’s lives with the image of Elena sitting on the fire escape high above Eugene’s house. Elena reports that the fire escape was “my favorite spot,” because she could safely observe the lives of her white neighbors. “I had to resist the temptation to climb down into that yard and water the flowers,” Elena says. The fact that the balcony is her “favorite spot” and that she wishes she could climb down to water that flowers shows that Elena desires what the white family has but it is out of reach for Elena at this point in her life. The fact that Elena is sitting high above the house emphasizes the distance that separates immigrants like Elena from the American Dream. She can see the lives of her white neighbors. The house may be next door to her building, but a wide gulf separates the lives of the Puerto Rican immigrants in El Building from the lives of whites.
