Class began with a lesson on editing marks, and how to respond to these marks.
Next class took notes on the SOAPS+Claim activity for analyzing non-fiction.
Occasion: What important circumstances or events surround the publishing of the piece? (Check copyright date ... identify concurrent events ... what is / was going on in the world?)
Audience & Author:
Audience: Who was the piece written for? How can you tell?
Author: Is the author reliable? How can you tell?
Purpose: What is the author trying to accomplish? (How does what the author is trying to accomplish affect how you view his or her words?)
Significance: To whom, and how is the information provided significant?
Claim: What does the author claim to be true or necessary? (Does he or she provide credible and substantial evidence to support this claim? Do you agree or disagree?)
