“HOW TO READ LIKE A WRITER”
&“I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD
CANNOT READ”
By Mike Bunn & Francine Prose, respectively
AP Lang Grouped Analysis & Notes
GROUP WORK
1. 1 sheet for your table, with MLA (all names)
2. You will be assigned sections of the “How to Read…”
essay:• Table 1: Introduction & 1• Table 2: 2-3• Table 3: 4-7• Table 4: 8 & 9
DO NOT write on my class copies, instead simply use to
produce your notes
You MAY WANT to reference your annotations to help
contribute to and guide your group along
OBJECTIVE
To produce a set of NOTES for your assigned section to
share with the class. (Please choose 1 student to represent
your group and share notes on ELMO.)• Determine a logical and clear organization for the notes• Include ONLY pertinent information • Think like a teacher. What would I focus on? What have I
already talked about in bellwork?• Identify the MODE(s) of DISCOURSE in your sections of the
text. • Determine why these were used (purpose)• Decide if and how it is effective to use those particular modes
INDIVIDUAL WORK
“I Know Why the Caged Bird Cannot Read” (Day 2)
1. Using your SOAPST(one) reference guide, compose a
thorough analysis of the (A)udience and (T)one.
2. The entries for each should be no less than a paragraph.
3. Use citations to support your assertions.
4. Next, write up a brief critique of Prose’s article. What is
your immediate reaction and why?
GROUP WORK
As a group, you will write 2 pieces: a
summary of Prose’s essay and brief
comparison and contrast piece.• Summary of “I Know Why…” should be a
2-3 sentences and VERY CONCISE.• Comparison and Contrast between “How
to Read Like…” and “I Know Why…” should have 2 parts: THE NOTES and PLANNING and a 1-PAGE ESSAY. As a group, determine the best organizational structure. (2 paragraphs, 3 paragraphs, etc…)• The question at hand is can you
recognize insights and draw relationships between the two?
FINAL STEP: MODELING
I will be looking at “I Know Why the Caged Bird
Cannot Read” with you as a class.
I want to walk through my own annotative process
in hopes that you find new strategy and options.
Take note of the questions I ask and the focus
driven annotations I make as both reader and
writer.
