ACTIVITY 1.6

Defining an American

NOT GONNA LIE…THIS IS DIFFICULTWhat do you do when you encounter difficult texts?

What SHOULD you do?Slow down. Break down the sentences, one at a time.Use punctuation as dividers.Identify the SUBJECT AND VERBParaphrase.

LET’S PRACTICE WITH SENTENCE ONE

In this great American asylum, the poor of Europe have by some means met together, and in consequence of various causes; to what purpose, should they ask one another, what countrymen they are.

Treat this semicolon like a period and stop here. Ask yourself, “What is he saying?”

In this place of refuge/safety, the poor of Europe have come together for a multitude of reasons.

What does this mean?

They ask each other what countries they came from and why they came to America.

“WHAT IS AN AMERICAN?”Number your sentences. You should have 36. Paragraph 1 = sentences 1-19Paragraph 2 = sentences 20 – 26Paragraph 3 = sentences 27-36

PARAPHRASE Group Assignments:

Group 1=sentences 2-8 (“Alas, two thirds…of their industry.”)

Group 2 = sentences 9-15 (“The laws…confirmed by government”

Group 3 = sentences 16-22 (“There the crown…this new man?”)

Group 4 = sentences 23 – 29 (“He is either an European…climates they inhabit.”

Group 5 = sentences 30-36 (“The American ought…American.”)

Go through your assigned sentences and paraphrase.

In the margin of your book, write sentence # and your paraphrase.

Be prepared to be an expert on your assigned section.
