Pop quiz on narrative coherence, communal relevance and authentic voice 

Agenda

For both essays, discuss the author’s approach to the assignment.  Answer the following in your groups:
1.  What is the author’s core belief?               
2.  How did the author use story to illuminate their belief?  What elements of good storytelling did they incorporate?  Does the whole piece work together in one unified voice? (narrative coherence)
3.  How does the author establish his/her unique personality through the assignment?  Which sections of the essay strike readers as truthful, either intellectually or emotionally? (authentic voice)
4.  “So what?”  How does the author connect to the human community?   (communal relevance)
