“Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” by Jonathan Edwards



“Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” by Jonathan Edwards

Step 1: gathering information 10 points

❖ Find a total of 10 literary devices (metaphors, similes, or vivid images created by symbols). Divide findings up by literary device category….quote them under each category.

❖ Write them on the back of this rubric.

❖ Be sure to use quotation marks, proper punctuation, and page numbers. You can use partial quotes because these are long sentences!!!! “…..iceberg frozen in man’s heart…” (892)

Step 2: 10 points

o Create a colorful visual representing one or more metaphor/image, which illustrates the TONE of the statement and Edwards’ sermon.

o This visual should take ONE entire side of white paper.

o The visual must be in color, detailed, and neat and original in content (no computer work).

On the FRONT of your visual –

1. Put the quote(s) which you are representing. Be sure to properly use quotation

2. marks.

3. In parenthesis, next to your quote or beneath your quote, write the page number

of the quote. I.e. (page 101 column 1-2)

4. On the BACK, title your visual: “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” by Jonathan

Edwards

5. Capitalize correctly!

Step 3: (Constructed response of 2 paragraphs) 20 points/ 10 each paragraph

▪ Paragraph #1: Create a well-developed paragraph that explains the quote AND

the image you created as an appeal (emotional, ethical, logical).

▪ Properly use quotation marks and page numbers (in quotes).

▪ Italicize the quote reference.

▪ Be sure to have an overall topic sentence (which answers the prompt). (Put the t.s. in bold.)

▪ Be sure to have an overall concluding sentence which sums up the paragraph. (Put the c.s. in bold.)

▪ Be sure the paragraph is indented 5 spaces, edited, bolded and italicized correctly.

▪ USE TRANSITIONAL WORDS, SENTENCES, AND PHRASES WHERE NEEDED!

▪ Hand this in the SAME day as your art. Do NOT staple anything to the art but this rubric.

Step 4: (Paragraph #2 of constructed response)

Create a second paragraph that answers the following prompt. Given contemporary religions, world politics and global cultures, How effective is the use of fear as a motivator for human behavior?

*Give considerable thought to answering this prompt. Make it very clear with a detailed example and explanation of the details/response and why.

*To connect the two paragraphs, you must use something similar to the following statement as a transition just before your topic sentence.

It is clear Jonathan Edwards attempted to use fear to manipulate his audience. Even today, we see evidence of the use of fear as a motivating factor, or as a device to influence the ideas and behaviors of others.

*Follow this topic sentence with your STAND on fear as a motivating factor.

*Avoid the pronoun I…stick to “people, citizens, we, adults, Americans, voters,” ANYTHING that addresses a larger audience in an appropriate and inclusive manner.

*This paragraph should be significantly longer and more explanatory (for obvious reasons related to the time and place in your life, compared to Edwards’ life) than the first paragraph.

*Bold your topic sentence and concluding sentences in this paragraph as well.
