Finish Compare and Contrast Writing

"Narcissus" by Caravaggio
Goal: Complete your compare and contrast paragraph on "Narcissus" and Narcissus-inspired art
work

Agenda: 
Journal
Finish Your Compare and Contrast
Peer Feedback
Socratic Seminar

1. Journal 
Will you be setting any resolutions for the new year? Why or why not?

2. Compare and Contrast
  • In Google Classroom, there is a compare and contrast performance task essay frame uploaded for you to complete called "Performance Task: Narcissus"
  • You must complete this in your own words (even if you are using the same inspired art as a friend). 
  • Do not submit the same piece of writing as a friend. It will not receive credit. 


3. Peer Feedback:


Socratic Seminar: 
We will have a Socratic discussion with some questions on Narcissus and its themes. Remember:
  • It's a discussion, not a debate 
  • The purpose is not to win
  • The purpose is simply to exchange ideas and hear others' points of view
Reminders: 
If you need something to keep you busy over break, please check out a book from the classroom library and let me know what you think of it when you come back. Sometimes the holidays can be stressful and I understand how you're feeling! Having a book on hand gives you something constructive to do.

See you next YEAR!
