Introduction and Objective
[Provide a 3-5-sentence introduction of the concept to be covered in this lesson.]
“I really, really loved the book I just finished!”, said Angela. “It was probably the best book I have ever read!” “Wow,” answered Steve. “Why did you like it so much?” To convince Steve that he should read the book, Angela needs to analyze it for him. In other words, she needs to show him WHY she liked it so much using specific details and examples. In this lesson, you will learn how to create an effective analysis for a poem or other text.

Instruction, Modeling and Student Activities
[Provide direct instruction and modeling at DOK 1 in this section.]
When a person makes a claim about something, they are stating that what they are saying is true.
An opinion is how a person feels about a particular person, event, or thing.
An inference is a conclusion based on evidence or reasoning.
Claims, opinions, and inferences are all part of analyzing poetry or other texts.
Look at the chart below to help you understand each of the three elements:
Claims need to be backed up by concrete evidence and factual information. For example, if you state that blue cars are safer in accidents than red cars, you need to be able to prove that. You would need to provide examples, statistics, studies, or real-life scenarios that can prove your statement as true.
Opinions, on the other hand, do not need to be backed up by fact, because they are your feelings about something. You might say that you prefer math to reading. Is there a right or wrong answer to that scenario? Of course not! To create a valid and believable opinion, you would need to have specific reasons
Opinion: “Opinions are intensely personal, so it is understandable that people have strong feelings about theirs. (Ruggiero, 2010, p.34). Your opinion may not be the truth but for an individual it is a personal view and not any one else’s.
An argument is a disagreement between two or more individuals based on ones beliefs or opinions with the purpose of disproving the other person’s beliefs or opinion. There are four elements to make an argument legitimate, and then you have to present the evidence for that argument. Then there is the counterargument where you have to defend your claims followed by your rebuttal where you will have to show all of the evidence you have to disprove the other person argument that they have against yours. If you can present these elements it will show your level of research and intelligence about the subject that is in question.
Literature is such a beautiful thing because it does not give us an answer to it's questions. There are so many iffy spots that leave us to develop our own thoughts and feelings toward the piece of work. This is an interesting factor because at many times it affects us in a different way and can develop us as an individual. When reading a piece of literature, one person can interpret it in different ways than another person reading the same piece of work. I remember analyzing poems with my English class in the previous years and when we were asked to interpret it, we all had different answers. Sometimes what I got out of the poem didnt even go close to the direction that my classmate
1) The difference between an opinion and a fact is that an opinion can be used as the main topic of an essay. It is based on partial knowledge of a subject where the writer thinks what seems true. In a fact, however, the statements are based on absolute certainty and can be proven if needed to. Facts cannot be used as an essay topic since no sides exist, meaning no people to persuade.
It is important to have this knowledge about different kinds of opinions because when they are "done responsibly, rhetorical reasoning is no more or less valid than the reasoning used in science," and they can really enhance one’s argument or support their essay. Finally, I found what Crowley and Hawhee mention as very convincing because they acknowledge that not all opinions are valid to use in a paper and it really stuck out to me when they talked about how we
TTW assess the accuracy of the predictions made to the discussion after the reading of the text. Was the use of prior knowledge helpful?
Most people in our society say what’s on their mind and give opinions on just about any subject. For the most part, people don’t always know everything about an issue before they offer their opinion; sometimes they don’t know anything at all, but they still give their input anyway. Having our views is a form of communicating with others, like understanding where someone stands on certain issues or arguing for facts. . Opinions should always be backed up with evidence.
List at least three examples of diction in the text that add to the overall tone. Explain how each word contributes to the emotional power of the piece, hospitality, the author uses this word to attempt to create a positive feeling in the story to show that they want hospitality inside the cyclopes home. Exquisite, the author uses this word to give a positive feeling in the story. . Savages, this word contributes to the emotional power of the piece, because it’s telling the reader what these people could be.
There are ways to identify if something is an opinion or a fact. Opinions have different qualities than facts. Opinions are personal and judgments. They can not be proven and opinions are based on someone's knowledge, beliefs,views or experiences. They are sometimes written in a first person’s point of view and may differ between people and groups of people. Many opinions include words like: are all the same, is the best, shouldn’t, is more fun than or everybody /everyone. With these patterns of words and qualities we can state something is a opinion and not a fact
The claim has to be accurate, and defendable. Also, they should a proper documentation that support the Claim of the plaintiff.
I also prepared my arguments beforehand. I then supported each of my claims or claims by solid arguments based on factual and objective.
The difference between an opinion and a fact is that an opinion should be arguable and should bring up questions while a fact is something majority of people would consider to be true or reality.
1. An opinion is your own belief, and a fact is something that has been proven.
Based off the words of George Orwell all opinion are equal, but some are more equal than others. There are echelons of types of options, some of the echelons can be tested and argued and some will be better than others. An opinion is not just saying an opinion, but the thought and perspective of it. If two people share the same opinion but one has no thought or perspective while the others does, is one better?
Opinion can be either true or false. Truth and falsity are objective, because a statement can not be both true and false. For example, it is either true or false that Hillary Clinton turned over all of her emails to the State Department. This means in an objective reality you can find truth. This argument is not contradictory, therefore this demonstrates that there is an objective truth.
