Objective: Compare and contrast characters in Things Fall Apart
Activity: In order for the reader to identify with the characters, the author creates a visual of his characters through description and detail. The first three chapters of Things Fall Apart reveal much about the protagonist Okonkwo and his father‚Unoka. 
A Venn diagram is a way to organize the similarities and differences between two people or things visually. In the center, write the similarities. On either side, write the differences. 
First, watch the following tutorial videos about characterization in literature:
Characterization in Literature
"What is a Foil?": A Literary Guide for English Students and Teachers
Characterization: Foil Pairs
Then, fill in the Venn diagram that follows to compare and contrast Okonkwo with his father Unoka. Consider their personalities, attitudes, relationships, and appearances. Then compose a minimum 1-2 paragraphs analyzing how Achebe is able to achieve his overall purpose for writing TFA through the use of characterization. Be sure to embed text evidence from Things Fall Apart.

See slide 28

Objective: Students will be able to understand and describe the connection between various literary works
Chinua Achebe takes the title of his novel Things Fall Apart from “The Second Coming,” a poem by William Butler Yeats. Viewing the destruction and catastrophe of World War I, Yeats feared a rise in communism and future global tragedy. He wrote his poem as a glimpse into the world that could arise from the results of the war. 
Read and annotate Yeats’ “The Second Coming” and consider why Achebe would choose this as the title for his book. Based on your thoughts and feelings about the poem, indicate in the chart below any possible connections between the poem and Achebe’s novel. Then write a 1-2 paragraph response explaining your understanding of the connection between the novel and the poem.

See slide 27

Create a story arc for TFA. 
First, map out the over-arching story being told
Second, create a Word Doc that expands the over-arching story map into more complex notes (i.e. following any additional minor story arcs that support the over-arching map). Organize these notes graphically in any form you prefer. MLA FORMAT Required (including a heading)

Watch the tutorial videos provided 
Complete a definition for hubris
Compose a paragraph showing your understanding of hubris with evidence from Things Fall Apart
Apply your understanding to a multiple choice question designed for analysis of literature

After reading Issue 2: Strategic Reading, choose one of the assignment options below to submit to this assignment post. These activities ask you to focus on the rhetorical dimensions of texts and visuals you might write about.


Choose one print text and one nonprint text that you are currently reading. Consider all of the ways you "notate" what you read, either in writing or in your head. Do you make real notes? Use stickies? Use digital stickies? If you primarily use "mental stickies," what kinds of questions do you ask about what you read? Write down some questions you might ask, or notes you might make, about the texts you have chosen. Include an example along with your responses to these questions in a Google Doc and attach it to this assignment post.
Consider how you might use some terms from Chapter 1 -- logos, ethos, pathos, and kairos -- to engage in active reading. Pick a work you are reading for a class and make a note of the following: the subject, how the text builds logos, how the writer establishes ethos, how the text demonstrates use of pathos, and how the writer shows an awareness of kairos. What do you discover? How might attending to these rhetorical dimensions improve your ability to read -- and summarize -- a text? Include the text along with your responses to these questions in a Google Doc and attach it to this assignment post.
Choose a text that you might be called upon to analyze, such as a journal article, a work of art, or a video or film. Make a list of all of the questions you have about it, as well as all of the points that you find interesting. Next, make a list of quotations, still images, characteristics of the work, or other information that has popped out at you during your reading of the text. Now group these pieces according to criteria that make sense to you, as Liz does with the images from Frederick Douglass's autobiography on page 91-93. Consider the questions you listed in light of your arrangement of pieces from the text. Rearrange questions and textual evidence as needed. What new insights emerge for you from this process? Include this analytical work (process) in a Google Doc and attach it to this assignment post. Be sure to make clear what text you have chosen.
Think about the book you're reading right now -- Understanding Rhetoric: A Graphic Guide to Writing. Look back at the discussion of pages 87-88 of Frederick Douglass's interest in controlling the way he appeared in images in print. Why do you think that this book uses Douglass as an example? What evidence do you find that indicates that the writers and illustrators of this book thought carefully about the images it includes? What choices might you have made differently? Include your responses in a Google Doc and attach it to this assignment post.

After reading Issue 1: Why Rhetoric?, choose one of the assignment options below to submit to this assignment post. The following assignment choices ask you to practice thinking about the rhetorical strategies of ETHOS, LOGOS, PATHOS and KAIROS:
Keep your eye out for published texts around school or around South Pasadena: newspapers, flyers, posters, zines, etc. When you find an interesting one, grab a copy or take a picture of it. Who is producing the text, and for whom? What does the text aim to do, how does it do it, and how effectively does it do it? Why might this text exist where you found it? (Hint: Luis and Cindy perform a similar analysis in the ReFrame section; how does the text you've found compare to the ones they've found?). Submit your response to this assignment choice on a Google Doc, then attach it to this assignment post.
Jot down some ideas about the rhetorical characteristics of informal and formal writing. In what ways are they similar? In what key ways are the different? Then, pick a kind of formal writing that you either are working on now or have encountered in the past. Think about how a consideration of logos, ethos, pathos, and kairos could help you compose a formal piece better. Complete this assignment option by making annotations (using the comment feature) on the original writing, then submit it to this post. You can also add new text to the document using a different font color to indicate what has been added for this assignment.
The internet brings together diverse groups of people and invites them to share their ideas and opinions, so conflicts, disagreements, and arguments are common online. Find a contentious or polarizing exchange on one of your favorite Internet haunts. Dissect the appeals used by the various parties in the exchange. Look specifically for places where people lean on their reputation or expertise (ethos), where the participants solicit specific emotional responses from one another or from their audiences (pathos), and where logic, facts, or evidence are used (logos). What are the effects of using the appeals? Whose arguments are most convincing in this exchange, and why? Compose your response on a Google Doc and attach it to this assignment post. 
Think of an issue at school that effects your experience on campus and that you would like to see changed. In whatever text you see fit --- an email, a text message, an open letter, a social media rant, an opinion piece for the school newspaper, a formal letter to a school administrator or someone else --- try to bring awareness to the issue so that the necessary changes can be made. Consider the rhetorical occasion and the context, and compose an effective rhetorical response. What appeals will be most effective for your audience? What genre feels most kairotic? Would it be helpful to add images appropriate to the rhetorical situation? Complete this task by using Google Docs and attach it to this assignment post.

Read and annotate for the 5 modes of storytelling (exposition, narration, interior monologue, dialogue, description).
