Foster Connections

Remember, this total assignment requires that you make at least 20 connections to Foster’s ideas/chapters; 10 of these connections MUST come from different Foster chapters. At LEAST 10 of these MUST apply to "The Metamorphisis"(This short story text is posted at www.colquitt.k12.ga.us/aplang/); DO NOT POST "METAMORPHISIS" connections here. The 10 non-"Metamorphisis" connections should be independent observation connections which relate to what Foster himself described the patterns of “novels, stories, plays, poems, songs, operas, films, television, commercials and. . . a variety of electronic media." NOTE: you may not use the examples Foster provides in the text. These must be original to your experience—after all, he tells us that’s all we have to work with when we read a text anyway.Organize these findings any way that works for you: graphic organizer, outline, bulleted list, double-entry Cornell style note-page —you decide, only be sure that your form of organization follows the pattern of organization—what am I talking about (what chapter? What pattern? What image? What idea?), where is the evidence (cite if from written text--the story, novel, poem; summarize if from film, novel, TV), how & why does “it” (the evidence) prove/IMPACT my "what? If you need to see a model of several methods for connecting, see my Colquitt County High School webpage OR you may post FIVE independent observation connections--HERE, one observation at a time-- & respond to TWO other postings on this our class Google blogspot. To do this, you will need a gmail account & might need to be invited by me the author of the blog; click on my model post under "comments" then begin posting at any time.
