- Read three more texts by your chosen author/artist. Read with a pen in hand.
- Complete a 1-page Reading Chart for each essay, or in other words: complete three new Reading Charts [***I have shared a Three Reading Charts Template with you via Google docs and linked it here. Please make a copy for your own work and then share with me***]
- Compose a new paragraph trying to articulate your reflections on how this new evidence has deepened and/or complicated and/or challenged the thinking about your author’s work you expressed in Exercise 1. Continue to think on the page about why this author’s work makes you smile or makes your brain hurt. Continue to explore conceptual tensions within the texts. Continue to record YOUR ideas about relationships between content and style. Continue to ask provocative questions. Continue trying to notice patterns that echo across the texts you have read (e.g. recurring content, recurring thematic concerns, and recurring stylistic or structural features). Continue collecting textual clues that might later lead you toward insights you discover while drafting.
