  1. Capote Opening Activity 1 For your assigned passage, do #1 from Writing Analytically p. 109 individually (select sentences you are willing to voice): Copy 2-4 sentences from your passage.

  2. Capote Opening Activity 2 • Read “What Punctuation Marks Say” on p. 422-423 in Writing Analytically. • You will be assigned one of the following letters: • “To Mary Louise Aswell” p. 15-16 • “To Leo Lerman” p. 18-19 • “To Leo Lerman” p. 21-22 • For your letter: A) Copy three sentences in which Capote uses a semicolon and/or a colon. B) Explain what purpose each semicolon or colon serves. C) State whether or not Capote’s usage follows the rules on p. 422-423 of Writing Analytically.

  3. Capote Opening Activity 3 • We will be doing 5.1 on p. 111 of Writing Analytically as a class. You will need your Commonplace Book (list of two quotations per letter). • Directions for 5.1: • Spend 5-10 minutes pointing (reading quotations aloud). • Without pausing for discussion, spend 10 minutes doing a passage-based focused free-write (nonstop writing) for one of the quotations. • Volunteers take turns reading their passage-based focused free-writes. • Listeners state what they heard in the free-write: What did you hear?

  4. Capote Opening Activity 4 In your notebook, write a response to the video clip on friendship vs. love and the following passage from a letter to Leo Lerman: Did you ever, in that wonderland wilderness of adolesence [sic] ever, quite unexpectedly, see something, a dusk sky, a wild bird, a landscape, so exquisite terror touched you at the bone? And you are afraid, terribly afraid the smallest movement, a leaf, say, turning in the wind, will shatter all? That is, I think, the way love is, or should be: one lives in beautiful terror” (Capote 21).
