9 PROMPT: IN THE LITERATURE OF THE AMERICAS, KIMBERLY KOZA WRITES: BY DISCOVERING THE LITERATURE OF OUR NEIGHBORS, WE MAY ALSO LEARN ABOUT OURSELVES. KEEPING THIS QUOTE IN MIND, RESPOND TO THE QUESTION. CHOOSE A SELECTION FROM THIS UNIT, AND WRITE A PARAGRAPH THAT EXPLAINS HOW KOZA S STATEMENT APPLIES TO THE THEME OF THE SELECTION. INCLUDE AT LEAST TWO SUPPORTING DETAILS OR EXAMPLES. BE SURE TO INCLUDE THE TITLE OF THE SELECTION AND INDICATE WHETHER THE AUTHOR COMES FROM CANADA OR LATIN AMERICA. LET S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK: BY DISCOVERING THE LITERATURE OF OUR NEIGHBORS, WE MAY ALSO LEARN ABOUT OURSELVES. THIS STORY BY CANADIAN AUTHOR ALICE MUNRO CAN HELP US LEARN ABOUT HOW WE INTERACT WITH OTHERS AND HOW WE RESPOND TO THE OUTSIDER. DO WE JOIN THE CROWD OR DO WE EXHIBIT COURAGE TO REACH OUT TO THE LONELY OUTSIDER? IF WE REALIZE FROM READING THIS STORY THAT WE LIKE TO FOLLOW THE CROWD, THE NEXT TIME WE SEE AN OUTSIDER IGNORED BY THE GROUP, PERHAPS WE WILL THINK ABOUT HOW THE OUTSIDER FEELS AND HOW REACHING OUT TO THE OUTSIDER MIGHT HELP CREATE EVEN A FLEETING FEELING OF ACCEPTANCE.

10 PROMPT: IN THE LITERATURE OF THE AMERICAS, KIMBERLY KOZA WRITES: BY DISCOVERING THE LITERATURE OF OUR NEIGHBORS, WE MAY ALSO LEARN ABOUT OURSELVES. KEEPING THIS QUOTE IN MIND, RESPOND TO THE QUESTION. CHOOSE A SELECTION FROM THIS UNIT, AND WRITE A PARAGRAPH THAT EXPLAINS HOW KOZA S STATEMENT APPLIES TO THE THEME OF THE SELECTION. INCLUDE AT LEAST TWO SUPPORTING DETAILS OR EXAMPLES. BE SURE TO INCLUDE THE TITLE OF THE SELECTION AND INDICATE WHETHER THE AUTHOR COMES FROM CANADA OR LATIN AMERICA. UNPACK THE PROMPT: PICK A TEXT FROM THE UNIT AND IDENTIFY ITS THEME. WHAT IS THEME? THE MESSAGE EX: DAY OF THE BUTTERFLY BY ALICE MUNRO EXPLAIN HOW THE THEME EXEMPLIFIES KOZA S STATEMENT. INCLUDE TWO DETAILS OR EXAMPLES TO SUPPORT YOUR EXPLANATION. INDICATE WHERE THE AUTHOR COMES FROM.

11 EXAMPLE ANSWER: PRE-WRITING NOTES STORY TITLE AND AUTHOR: DAY OF THE BUTTERFLY BY ALICE MUNRO SUMMARY: IN THIS STORY, THE NARRATOR HELEN EXPLAINS HOW A CLASSMATE NAMED MYRA IS ISOLATED AND APART FROM HER CLASSMATES. THE TEACHER DIRECTS THE STUDENTS TO ACT NICER TO MYRA. ONE DAY, HELEN INADVERTENTLY ENDS UP WALKING TO SCHOOL WITH MYRA AND BREAKS THE BARRIER TO BEFRIEND HER JUST BARELY BECAUSE SHE DOESN T WANT TO SEEM TOO FRIENDLY WITH MYRA IN FRONT OF HER OTHER CLASSMATES. THEME: IT TAKES AN ACT OF COURAGE TO STAND UP AND BE DIFFERENT FROM THE CROWD. HOW EVENTS AND/OR IDEAS IN THE STORY AND/OR POEM SUPPORT THE THEME: THE EVENTS SUPPORT THIS THEME BECAUSE NOBODY IN THE CLASS WANTS TO BE FRIENDLY TO MYRA. WHEN HELEN OFFERS HER SOME CRACKERJACKS AND THE PRIZE, SHE DEMONSTRATES COURAGE TO BE DIFFERENT FROM THE CROWD. THE BUTTERFLY MAY SYMBOLIZE THIS BECAUSE THE LIFE OF THE BUTTERFLY IS FLEETING & DELICATE. THIS NEW FRIENDSHIP IS VERY DELICATE BECAUSE OF HELEN S UNCERTAIN FEELINGS ABOUT BREAKING THE BARRIER AND THE FRIENDSHIP MAY BE DELICATE BECAUSE OF MYRA S SERIOUS ILLNESS WHICH WILL KEEP HER HOSPITALIZED AND ISOLATED FROM SCHOOL.

12 PROMPT: SELECT A DIFFERENT STORY OR POEM FROM THIS UNIT. IDENTIFY A LITERARY ELEMENT IN THE CHOSEN SELECTION SUCH AS TONE, IMAGERY, OR SYMBOLISM. EXPLAIN HOW THE EVENTS AND /OR IDEAS IN THE STORY AND/OR POEM EXHIBIT TONE, IMAGERY, OR SYMBOLISM. INCLUDE AT LEAST TWO SUPPORTING DETAILS OR EXAMPLES. BE SURE TO INCLUDE THE TITLE OF THE SELECTION AND THE AUTHOR. UNPACK THE PROMPT: SELECT A STORY OR POEM FROM THE UNIT. AT THE TOURIST CENTRE IN BOSTON DAY OF THE BUTTERFLY NO DOGS BARK IDENTIFY THE TONE, IMAGERY, OR SYMBOLISM IN THE TEXT. EXPLAIN HOW IS IT SHOWN IN THE TEXT. EX: DAY OF THE BUTTERFLY BY ALICE MUNRO - THINK ABOUT THE BUTTERFLY. WHILE IT IS EXCHANGED AS A GIFT IN THE STORY, DOES IT HAVE A MORE SYMBOLIC MEANING?
