The Theme Study Essay - Prejudice

Ms Murr :Year 10 - Semester 1 2015Slide2

A context essay is different in style to a text response essay

Unlike a text response essay, where the focus is the text, with a theme study essay,

the focus is ideas

.

You

need to draw on the texts

but the way you do this will depend on

the ideas

in your essay

You must make reference to

To Kill A Mockingbird

and

Persepolis

You will need to draw on

one other

idea/text/exampleSlide3

Think about all of the things we have discussed

The prejudice unit has included To Kill A Mockingbird

Persepolis

Oral presentations

The Jane Elliot experiment

Banksy

Slam Poetry (Omar

Musa –

Capital Letters

)

Because he’s Black

Cartoons

Discussion of the article on the African teens persecuted by the police in MelbourneSlide4

You can draw on anything – as long as it’s relevant

Your ideas must connect with the key texts we have looked at

You can also draw on something that we may not have looked at that has interesting connections with

TKAM

&

Persepolis

Consider:

Scout,

Marj

, Atticus,

Marj’s

parents – compare and contrast

The courtroom scene & the Jane Elliot documentary

The Angry Eye

Reactions to prejudice: What do Atticus,

Marj’s

parents, Jane Elliot and

Banksy

all do in the face of prejudice?

Consider the

CONNECTIONS

you can make between texts and ideas. This will be the

THREAD

of your essay.Slide5

Think about your essay as though you were trying to engage someone in an interesting conversation

Your essay is about ideasUse the texts as springboards for discussion

Y

our thoughts and the

connections

between each idea are what’s important.Slide6

You can be creative in the connections you make but don

’t forget this is an expository essaySlide7

What is an expository essay?Slide8

Yes… The

struggle is real – but guess what? That’s called learning!Slide9

How do I start?

You need to plan!

Break down the topic

Keywords and synonyms

Restate the topic

Write a contention

List 3- 4 main ideas

Your introduction needs to

State your contention or point of view

Signpost your main ideas

Include a quote that supports your contention – this should have significant impactSlide10

How do I structure a main body paragraph in a theme study essay?Slide11

Structural conventions of a context essay paragraph – TEEL is still relevant

Your

topic sentence

needs breadth

You should think about where you are headed (textual examples) and write a topic sentence with that in mind.

Your topic sentence shouldn’t explicitly reference the text/example you will discuss

You need a bridging sentence – something that connects your ideas with examples/material you are referencing

Explain

your

examples

DON’T FORGET: TOPIC SENTENCES ARE YOUR ANCHORSSlide17

YOUR CONCLUSION SHOULD BE

STRONGSlide18
