Make an interpretive claim (that is, write a thesis statement) about Sarah Kay’s TED Talk.  You can focus your claim on: 1) her poem; 2) her message about poems and/or stories; 3) how her delivery impacts meaning.


Today’s Question:  How do we make claims about literature?


Mini-lesson:  Making Claims
Following the guidelines in the Powerpoint, write or rewrite claims for 2 of these 3 creative works:  1) Guernica, 2) “Yours,” or 3) the Sarah Kay TED talk.  Get feedback from a peer.  Revise again?  Show me when you are finished.
