Analyzing the Text of Tequila Worm: Say, Mean, Matter Earlier this week you identified excerpts, quotes, and passages from the text of Tequila Worm that you were significant because they reveal something important about the character of Sofia. Today you will use the 'Say, Mean, Matter' strategy to further examine what the text says, and explain what it means and why it matters. You can find the assignment Say, Mean, Matter ('Tequila Worm') in your Language Arts folders. A teacher example has been provided to help you understand what I expect.
Your first task today is to select five different quotes or excerpts from Tequila Worm that say something significant about Sofia and her development as a character. You will choose one from the exposition, two from the rising action, one from the climax, and one from the rising action/resolution. You may choose your text excerpts from any of the class periods' shared documents of Sofia and What the Text Says ('Tequila Worm') (Period 2, Period 3, Period 5). Some sentence starters have been provided below to help you introduce your excerpt.
Next, it's time to analyze what the text means. What was the author or character trying to say. You may need to infer. Some sentence starters have been provided below to help you explain your interpretation of the meaning of the text.
Finally, your task is to explain what the quote or passage matters. What is the significance of the text you included? How does the selected text better help us understand Sofia as character, her development, and some of the themes of the book? Refer to the sentence starters below to help you get started.
