Tuesday-Wednesday Feb 21-22



Assignment/Skills Objective:

Make an intertextual claim about THE FILM and/or THE SOUNDTRACK and support it with TEA.  (An intertextual claim connects 2 or more works that you are analyzing.)  You will write 1-2 robust (8-10 sentence) paragraphs illuminating your claim with evidence from the film and the other text you are comparing or connecting.



Another claim, Jessica?!?
Yes, my dears, we may as well get good at this.  And this one MUST be intertextual.  The film is an entirely separate work from the book, and it deserves to be treated as such.  You may use this mini-analysis to compare the film and the book, comment on how the soundtrack helps illuminate the meaning of the film, or another angle that you wish to make a claim about.  


YOU WILL HAVE TIME IN CLASS TO WORK ON THIS AFTER WE FINISH THE MOVIE TOMORROW!!!
