Twinkies?
Strawberry Special K bars are the way to go. You guys are so 90's.
Spring break ends today. Boo...well. Bedtime. Have to go to school tomorrow! Hooray!
I have to BS an entire project on WICKED (the novel) by Tuesday. I should have read it...but that would have taken some real effort. This is my assignment:
-----------------------------------------
1) Book summary (2-3 pages)
Think of the storyboard graph we’ve used in class – Intro, conflict, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution.
2) Character Analysis
At least one solid paragraph per character – both main and most minor. Some questions to get you started - Why does the character act the way he/ she does? What conflicts must he/she endure and persevere through? How does the character change?
3) Chapter-by-Chapter Study Guide Questions
You must have a total of 70 QUALITY questions for your novel. The questions must be divided as follows: 15 for the first ¼ of the novel, 20 for the 2nd ¼ , 20 for the 3rd ¼ , and then 15 for the last ¼. You must write the page number, and the answer, for each question. Do not ask silly questions like “What color was the dress she wore to the party?” Look at your Huck Finn study guide questions for examples of the QUALITY I expect!
4) Essay Questions
Write three essay questions that cover themes of the entire work. These should be like the questions I have given to you on previous ROR In-class essay tests. Just write the questions!!!
5) Author info
Cite your reliable source and create an author bio - personal data, other works, awards, “motivation,” historical events, etc.
6) Article/Critique
Find a newspaper/magazine/online ARTICLE (cite your source!) that is relevant to your book. It might be a review, a story about the author, an op-ed piece, or even a news story that is connected to your author, the work, or a historical reference upon which it is based. For instance, Jodi Picoult has written many op-ed pieces about battles she’s had with her books being banned. Attach the article to your RORNotes, and write a one paragraph synopsis.
7) Your Book Review – Minimum of 1 FULL page
Write a book review for your novel. Why did/didn’t you like it? What was the best/worst part of the work? How has reading the book affected your opinions/life/attitude? Why would/wouldn’t you recommend the book to a friend?
-----------------------------------------------
I think most of that is pretty BS-able. Yay!
In case you all were wondering my life story.
