Today's focus!

SWBAT analyze the entire episode between Oberon and Titania.

Consider the impact of their conflict, and what this conflict reveals about experiences of love.

SWBAT experiment with the structure of an argument and how the various pieces work together to support the main idea.

Explain the Impact of a Conflict

• Read Titania's speech from Line 84 to Line 117.

• What is Oberon and Titania’s dissension about?
• What events has Oberon and Titania’s fight caused?

• Read from Line 118 to Line 120.

Paraphrase Titania's speech.

• What is the progeny, or product, of Oberon and Titania’s disagreement, and what does their progeny reveal about their experience of love?

Experiment with Argument Structure

Experiment: How does structuring an argument work?

EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE WORKING WITH A PARTNER, YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR OWN EXAMPLE.

STEPS:

• Write the evidence-based claim from the introductory paragraph at the top of a page in your Response Journals.
• Use your assigned paragraph from the exemplar essay and dissect it. Cut it apart so you have the four pieces of CREE isolated from one another.
• Then, paste these pieces onto your page.
• Next, explain each part of CREE:
• How does the claim in your paragraph supports the evidence-based claim?
• How does the reason supports the claim in the paragraph?
• How does the evidence supports the reason?
• How does the elaboration supports the evidence?
