Text Analyzed: Lady Macbeth's Unsex Me Speech from Macbeth
Link to Voice Recording: http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cDn3nh1fJa
Criterion A: 9-I believe I accurately portrayed the historical information on which Macbeth is based as well as providing the context of this passage.
Criterion B: 7- I think I made some valid points about what Shakespeare's intentions were when writing this passage, however I think I could have explained more accurately what its effect on the audience was.
Criterion C: 4- My organization was fairly neat in the beginning, I gave context and then jumped into plot, the language, the audience, and then the effect of the language on the audience. However, I think my organization fell apart in the end as I ran out of time to create a solid conclusion.
Criterion D: 3- I think this is my weakest area. The language I used seems repetitive and is not on par for the level of analysis being conducted.
Gillian:
ReplyDelete- Nice context; good thesis
- Some shakey organization
- Make sure you're thinking about HOW he's doing what you say he's doing (language and literary devices)
- Can just give line numbers instead of spending time reading lines
- Diction vs. Syntax
- Be sure you're explaining the why of examples or points you're making
- Good conclusion
