This week we’re working on introductions. You will read Mary Mebane’s “The Back of the Bus,” which begins on p. 157 in The Norton Sampler, and form some conclusions about the introduction of Mebane’s essay. You will also write a paragraph describing your own experience in transportation and then respond to a peer’s posted paragraph on his/her paragraph.
Post 1: Answer both sections A & B in your initial post.
After reading Mebane’s story “The Back of the Bus”:
How do paragraphs 1 & 2 introduce the story?
How does the author set historical context (cite specific example from the story).
How does the author set emotional context? (cite specific example from the story).
“Taking a Ride” In one paragraph (5 – 7 sentences) describe a ride you have taken on a bus, train, plane, boat, or other vehicle. Focus on the vehicle itself and the people who were there with you.
Post 2: Provide feedback to a classmate’s paragraph on “Taking a Ride”.
Does it effectively describe the scene? Specifically, does the introduction provide a sense of place (where is the story set?)
What is the one thing you found most engaging (strongest in the writing)?
What is the one thing you would like to know more about or did not understand?
You may also note corrections in grammar and style to help your peer.
