Your paragraphs should explain and expand what you initially covered in your thesis statement. Use details, sound logic, and the book to bring up references.
Bring this assignment to class on Friday. We will do a peer-review day to prep for the final essays.

I handed out a copy of Hunger Games for reference in that perspective.
Assignment: Rewrite your morning story using the slightly different, third-person close narrator. Watch this video for a helpful list of don’ts in this perspective.
Due Friday: Students will submit their thesis statement. This should be a clear argument in response to one of the prompts. It may help to treat this like a short essay on a test. Give me a thorough, thoughtful, and clear response. Shoot for half a page, double-spaced.

- Comparison and Contrast: Compare and contrast the depiction of a central theme in the book and the movie. How does the medium (written word vs. film) impact the portrayal and understanding of this theme?

Literary tone: is a term you’ll need to know for tests. Determining the tone of a text is a necessary skill in literature. We watched and discussed this video
Please note that some suggestive material is in a selection quoted in the video. We do not celebrate the worldliness of that culture. We reject it. However, in this case, it is a good example of examining word choice to discern an author’s tone.
See this video for more on discerning an author’s tone through word choice.
