Activity: Develop & Apply YOU Do Plus/Delta Introduction • Attention grabbing hook (if time) • Dramatic situation • Universal/enduring understanding • Closed thesis Score yourself (0 or 1) on the scoring Guide Model Introduction Science: trying to lower the mortality rate and even trying to make us look younger as we age. Sadly, though, we humans are mere mortals and our bodies change with each year of life towards death. The anxiety that a person may feel as he ages and approaches death is expressed in “Sonnet 73” by William Shakespeare. Through a series of metaphors and vivid imagery, the speaker’s pensive comparisons become increasingly more relevant to the ultimate exhortation to be “loved well” before he is gone.

Student Sample 1 A Continued Body Paragraph 1 Point (form enhances understanding) • Explains (voice = people’s fears/insecurities about the future) • Elaborates (sharing this = reader attachment) o Illustration of form/structure (1 -word addendums that rhymes to last word of each line) o Explains (provides immediate answers to questions) o Elaborates (mono-rhymic = memorable, touching for reader) • Illustration of form/structure (1 st quatrain, general questions = starting a life from blank) • Explains (title=sonnet created by “echo” providing answers) • Elaborates (“empty page” = metaphor for voice) • Explains (illustration of inquiry words, answered only by 1 word = stronger impact) • Illustrates (first question, answers “start”) • Explains (meaning = the most important thing is to take the first step) o Additional illustration (juxtaposition of joy & grief) o Explains (shows echo’s sincerity) o Elaborates (not just blindly coaxing, instead giving real answers) o Additional illustration (art and “leaf” = synecdoche for nature) o Explains (provides consolation/relief to ailing heart) • How did you do? • Identify what you have, and note what you don’t!

Student Sample 1 A Continued Body Paragraph 2 • Point (structure transition, 2 nd quatrain = naturalistic symbols) • Illustrates/Explains (life of leaf = visual imagery; final fate is death) • Explains • Elaborates • Illustrates • Explains meaning Continue through the rest of the essay & really note what is done in the final paragraph (the conclusion – see next) Outcome: How did you do? What do you need to continue to do? What do you need to work on? Score yourself (6 - 0) on the Scoring Guide

Activity: Develop & Apply YOU Do Plus/Delta Conclusion • Connect to the opening ideas – Restate thesis or main idea – • End with something for the reader to consider or to make the reader think “One thing is for sure: the ‘page’ will not be ‘empty’ anymore. ” Model Conclusion Through “Sonnet 73”, Shakespeare structures a progression of vivid metaphors to show the ravages of time on one’s physical being as well as presenting the mental anguish one may feel as he moves from youth closer to death. The realization that life will not be as cyclical in nature as the first and second quatrains seem to suggest, brings our speaker to acknowledge his listener’s awareness of his demise and conclude that not only should he be loved before he is gone but also that the listener's youth will, too, leave him in the future. Through “Sonnet 73, ” Shakespeare shares advice and a reality that we should all heed at any age.

Instruction: Obtain Activity: Apply Sample: 1 A Score: 9 on older rubric – 6 on newer • From its early distinction between the voice and echo in Pack’s poem, this elegant essay inspires confidence. Using a welldeveloped introduction to identify the poem’s form and explicate its structure — “[t]he ‘echo’ … is the narrator’s alter ego” — the essay explores the literary devices the poet works with, including rhyme, imagery, and symbol, and connects them to the poem’s meaning. The discussion of the interplay between voice and echo is rich: “The echo is not just blindly trying to coax or comfort the voice, but he exists to give real answers. ” The essay suggests a student fully engaged in a conversation with the work — reader response at its best — and the probing goes deeper, to “the central idea of this sonnet — we all know we must die, and that our fate is sealed due to the inevitable mortality. Yet the echo says, ‘leap’ for the future. ” Such thoroughness, persuasiveness, and insight, combined with an especially effective control of language, earned this essay a score of 9.
