due 3 26 itdh pg 99 176 group genre motif discussion discussion group 5
In your small groups, focus only on the chapters “Dream House as Man vs. Self†(pg. 119, motif) and “Dream House as Choose-Your-Own Adventure†(pg. 162, genre). (should take approx 15-20 mins)
For both chapters, please answer questions 1-2, then follow step 3.
1. What is one expectation/convention/characteristic of each genre/motif?
2. How are these fairytale expectations related to the story Machado is telling in this chapter? Are they the same as the genre/motif? Or different? How? What does that similarity or different tell us as readers?
3. Respond to your classmates—help them clarify and deepen their thinking.
**You only need to do one expectation/convention for each chapter, because you can come together as a group to discuss your own opinions! Think of the genre/footnote as commentary on the story—for this homework, you’re explaining what that commentary is.
**If you’re not sure how to do this, I demonstrate it here (Links to an external site.) and here (Links to an external site.).
