An essay on the required novel and a test on the drama are the assignments for the first day of school. There are no acceptable excuses for late work. Manage your time and do not wait until the last minute. I do not want to hear that your printer would not work or that you printer ran out of ink or that you do not have a computer and, therefore, had to wait for your best friend to finish his/her essay before you could type yours.
Essay (Use Guidelines for Writing an Essay.)
(Requirements: 2-3 pages including at least five paragraphs [first paragraph, introduction; second through fourth paragraphs, body; final paragraph; final paragraph; conclusion; and each paragraph is to include at least five sentences])
Essay Topic:
“By their deeds shall ye know them.” We often judge people by what they do; therefore, we consider people who commit cruel or reprehensible acts corrupt, base, or amoral. In literature, however, authors often introduce us to characters whom we learn to like or even respect, despite their deeds.
Write an essay about a character in A Tale of Two Cities for whom you developed admiration or compassion. Briefly explain why you felt his or her behavior to be condemnable or contemptible, and how the author’s techniques influenced you to admire that person nonetheless. DO NO SUMMARIZE THE PLOT.
BE PREPARED FOR A TEST ON BASIC INFORMATION ON THE DRAMA.
The required essay and any other essays, novel reports, or drama sheets assigned during the school year are to be typed (Times New Roman 12) and placed in a folder. All essays, reports and drama sheets will be turned in (in the same folder as your first assigned writing on each successive due date). All essays, novel reports, and drama sheets will be turned in at the end of the school year. If you would like to keep a personal copy, please be sure to save to a flash drive.
NOVEL REPORT FORM (to be used during the school year, not for the required summer reading)
1. Title
2. Original publication date
3. Author
4. Authorial background (include style, techniques, classification, significance, influence)
5. Setting (description required)
6. Theme (support with elements from the novel)
7. Character sketch (analysis of one major character)
8. Works Cited page
Any novel report is to be written in paragraph form (including #’s 1, 2, and 3). Research is required for #4 and will probably be helpful in composing section #’s 5 and 7. Research will necessitate the inclusion of in-text citations and a Works Cited page. MLA style is required.
