Persepolis - Day 10

First of all - it is time to buy our next book!  Please own a copy of Shakespeare's Othello for class next Friday. You can buy a copy at the bookstore for $9.

Last night you made some decisions about your thesis and your topics:

• At this point, you should know where you land on the question: do visual images help or hinder understanding of complex issues?
• At this point, you should have a sense of two reasons why your thesis is true or be able to name two ways of how visual images impact understanding.
• At this point, you might have a sense of a counterclaim - an opposing view to your thesis.
• Thesis clarification - the counterclaim is not a part of the thesis statement, but the two reasons / topics for your first two body paragraphs will be part of it.

We'll pause to work with a partner to share what you have, and to see if they think it works - and for you to give them feedback!

Then, it is time to turn our attention to the body paragraphs and the analysis of the evidence.

• How to read a photograph
• Persepolis body paragraph activity

We will also start to talk about counterclaims today.

For Monday, your homework is to expand your outline using this form.
