Sanjog, Aanchal, Deborah, Cherry, and Chana:

In addition to the group authored introduction, reflection, and annotated bibliography, here are some notes on what your group should include:

—One Creative Piece

Your group must have one creative piece.  If it works, you may submit someone’s poem from our in class activity.

—5 Analysis Papers

2 people will have to do a scholarly analysis paper.

2 people will have to submit a close reading paper.

1 person will be a toss up.  It depends on what works best for your group.

—5 Description Papers about 5 Primary Texts

Your group should have at least 5 primary texts, each accompanied by a 1-2 page description paper (super long caption).

You may decide to include more than five papers if the primary texts actually help your group to make more of a cohesive central argument in your introduction.

These description papers can come from your first description paper, or you might write new ones for new text.

You may decide to each contribute a description paper or ask one or two people to do more than one description paper while other people do more for the introduction.

Project Dandelion Exercises

Overall Argument [35 minutes]

Overall Argument:

  1. Come back as a group and share your two different pieces of writing.   [10 minutes]
  2. Discuss a possible central claim/overall thesis for your version of Project Dandelion.   [10 minutes]
  3. As a group, write the second paragraph to the Project Dandelion Introduction.  This second paragraph should move from the background and main tension that I have set you up to a specific argument that ultimately the texts and writing you present in your version of Project Dandelion will support.[15 minutes]
Project Dandelion Exercises

Drafting Joint Pieces [35 minutes]

Recognizing Commonalities & Drafting Joint Pieces

  1. Share the writing you had for the “integrating sources” round of our Wednesday writing, and consider the following questions:

Is anyone in your group, using source in similar ways? Does anyone use the same source?  Does anyone apply the same source to the same text?  Could you combine any two or more of your “integrating sources” writing together? [10 minutes]

  1. Share your compare and contrast writing, and consider the following questions:

Do some of you use the same texts? Do you make similar observations between texts?  Is it possible to combine your compare and contrast pieces in any way? (For example: Zaris compared A & B, and even though Robert compared C &D, they actually make the same claim/observation.  Is it possible that they can then have one claim that looks at A, B, C &D?   Or Danny has an interpretive angle about X & Y and Becky has a different interpretive angle about X & Y  Is it possible that they might combine their look at  X & Y to have a more complicated interpretation? ) [10 minutes]

  1. Split your group in half (2-3 people per half).  One half should co-write a combined integrating sources segment for Project Dandelion.  The other half should co-author a combined compare and contrast argument for Project Dandelion.  Use GoogleDocs in order to draft together. [15 minutes]
Project Dandelion Exercises

Project Dandelion Bibliography (10 Minutes)

Bibliography

  1. Using GoogleDoc, compile a bibliography for Project Dandelion. You should use the citations, which your group members found as part of the homework assignment.  Even though in this exercise you do not have to annotate each citation, you should, as a group, write 2-5 sentences introducing how these sources fit together.   Each bibliography should have AT LEAST three citations.  [10 minutes]
Dandelion Music

“Dandelion” Kacey Musgraves

[Lyrics posted below from azlyrics.com]

“Dandelion”

Picked you out and picked you up
Hoping that my luck would change
I let the summer fill my lungs
And superstition fill my brainDandelion
A million little wishes float across the sky
But it’s a waste of breath and it’s a waste of time I know
Cause just like him, you always leave me cryin’ dandelion

Sent you dancing on the breeze
And like a stupid little girl
I spent my wishes on a weed
Thinking it could change my world

Dandelion
A million little wishes float across the sky
But it’s a waste of breath and it’s a waste of time I know
Cause just like him, you always leave me cryin’ dandelion

Falling stars and lucky pennies
Have let me down so many times before
And you’re just one more
Oh, dandelion

Oh, dandelion
I’m always blowing kisses out across the sky
But it’s a waste of breath and it’s a waste of time I know
Cause just like him, you always leave me cryin’ dandelion

“Dandelion”

Prince or pauper, beggar man or thing
Play the game with ev’ry flow’r you bring
Dandelion don’t tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion

One o’clock, two o’clock, three o’clock, four o’clock chimes
Dandelions don’t care about the time
Dandelion don’t tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion, blow away dandelion

Tho’ you’re older now its just the same
You can play this dandelion game
When you’re finished with your childlike prayers
Well, you know you should wear it

Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailors lives
Rich man, poor man, beautiful, daughters wives
Dandelion don’t tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion, blow away dandelion

Little girls, and boys come out to play
Bring your dandelions to blow away
Dandelion don’t tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion, blow away dandelion
