Bell Ringer
Remind yourself of the requirements on the project rubric for your community service project. Due date- December 14!!!!!

Jigsawing
Today, we will have a Socratic Seminar using "Compassion and the Individual." I want you to focus specifically on diction analysis, so you will need to do some close re-reading. Divide text into sections: (2 groups per sections) Work with your group to gather notes on a 3 column chart. (It Says, I Say, And So OR CD/CM1/CM2)
 * 1) Section 1 - "The Purpose of Life," "How to Achieve Happiness," and "Our Need for Love."
 * 2) Section 2- "Developing Compassion" and "How Can We Start"
 * 3) Section 3- "Friends and Enemies" and "Compassion and the World"

Socratic Seminar
Groups that did the same sections will meet together in the inner circle while others observe and annotate texts. 7 minutes per circle! Use the chart you just created AND the notes handout you completed for homework. Don't be afraid to reference other texts that we have done; we need to begin to synthesize this information!

Writing
Write a paragraph analyzing Gyatso's use of diction in "Compassion and the Individual." Paragraph Structure: (For your two chunks, choose text evidence that works together for a similar purpose. The whole paragraph should flow together as one.)
 * Topic Sentence- Describe his overall use of word choice to achieve his purpose. This sentence may or may not contain the word "diction."
 * Chunk 1
 * Chunk 2
