TODAY ... finish the chart for "A Modest Proposal" in the literature book ... pages 622-631.
Mak sure you've selected 14 quotes from within the reading - try to find what you feel are the most important sentences from the reading to select - and put them in the "QUOTE" column of the chart provided. You do not have to write the entire sentence - you may/should use ellipsis (...) to condense ... for example in paragraph 1:
"These mothers ... or sell themselves to the Barbadoes."
Then, for each quote, you will explain briefly in your own terms what it means (PARAPHRASE) and explain briefly why it matters to the passage (IMPORTANCE).
For pacing's sake you might stay to the following ... P. 624 (2 quotes), P. 625 (2 quotes), P. 626 (1 quote), P. 627 (1 quote), P. 628 (2 quotes), P. 629 (2 quotes), P. 630 (1 quote) ... you can vary from that, but that formula plus the 3 examples will give you your 14.
See the example on the side board of what he chart should (sort of) look like. The examples include quotes that I chose as my 1st, my 13th, and my 14th. As you work, try to keep them in order as they occur in Swift's essay as much as possible.
