Students are to compare “Rapunzel” and Jane Yolen’s “The Golden Stair.” They are to choose their favorite version of the Rapunzel tale and use chunking for their paragraph writing. A good chunking paragraph has a topic sentence, a concrete detail – CD-(supports main idea with quote or example from text), two commentary sentences – CM-(interpretation, analysis, insight), and a concluding sentence. A chunk consists of one CD and two CMs. They are to write a two-chunk paragraph of at least eight sentences on notebook paper. It is due on Tuesday, April 5. I am attaching the poem and a copy of the Grimm brothers’ version of the fairy tale to this post.
