Making the Invisible Visible: February 12, 2018

Focus: How do we take cloudy/invisible concepts from Invisible Man and make them visible?

1. Warming up with three good things

2. Close reading the epigraph:
  • What do you see? 
  • What are you wondering? 
  • What do we need to look up? 
  • What did you discover?

3. Mapping the motifs with sketchnoting

Large-class brainstorming:
  • Which characters are you wondering about?
  • Which objects are you wondering about?
  • Which scenes are you wondering about?
  • What words are you wondering about?

Small group mapping:
  • With your partners, form a specific, open-ended question about your character, object, scene, or word. 
  • Next, create a map / use sketchnoting that combines visual images, arrows, quotations, characters, symbols, epiphanies, etc to form a complex response to your question.


I will combine these into a little notebook and make copies for all of you! Should come in handy in May when you're trying to remember concepts and details from Invisible Man.

HW:
1. For TOMORROW: Finish your Invisible Man Big Question Blog. My tip: Get extremely specific by going into depth on ONE motif/character/scene/word and bringing in ample textual evidence. We will have a Tuesday writing tomorrow on Invisible Man.

2. For Wednesday: 
  • No vocabulary assessment yet; we will go over Set 5 on Wednesday.
  • Mr. Lewis will be here to discuss A.P. exam registration items with you. 
3. For last week: Make sure you have completed your metacognitive and placed in in your shared folder. IF YOU HANDWROTE, YOU MUST PRINT A COPY OF YOUR POEM AND HAND IT IN.
