We’ll start with a peer edit of our Immersion Essay. Here are the reader assignments.
Reader 1: Look to see how the writer uses specific detail and showing (rather than telling) passages to evoke the experience. Especially look for description, dialogue, scenes, and other fictional devices.
Reader 2: Look to see how the writer includes expository information about the subject without breaking the flow of the narrative too abruptly. Do we learn something while we get the story?
Reader 3: Look for the writer’s style, especially the use of strong verbs and sentence structure to create a tone.
Afterward, I’ll give you time to work.
Next, we’ll use small groups to look at Pulitzer Prize winning photos. See here and here as well. Choose one and plan on coming up to talk about it using our new set of photo vocabulary.
If we have time, I’d like to talk about a dead tree essay on Family Portraits.
HW: Finish the Immersion Essay
