In Class:
Journal-- What are the first things you want new people to know about you?
Instruction and discussion on the notion of polyvocality.
Polyvocality [the presence of many voices]: the deliberate creation of multiple independent and unique voices to demonstrate differences in perspective AND to remind us that all literature and art communicates amongst itself.
Alexie’s work often integrates multiple voices, often in conflict, to demonstrate the extreme differences he feels within his own identity characteristics.
Read and discussed "War Stories" by Alexie to demonstrate the integration of polyvocality.
Introduced final project (see separate post).
Students independently read and composed discussion questions for "The Search Engine."
Exit ticket:
- How much did you read in class today?
- Who is your favorite musical artist?
Homework:
Finish "The Search Engine" and write three discussion questions by Monday.
