World Literature
1. Narrative character's characterization - in the fictional world. Choose a book, short story, tv show, comic book, movie, or any other form of narrative and read/watch/enjoy it. Choose one character and write down the forms of indirect characterization (appearance, actions, dialogue, other char. reactions) that you see onto your characterization boxes sheet. Then make guesses about the character.
2. Extra credit option: "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker . Read the story "Everyday Use" on p. 76 of the Holt textbook. Use the extra characterization boxes sheet from class (or download it by clicking here), and fill in the indirect characterization for the character of either Dee or Maggie - your choice.
Composition
1. Write a paragraph about a very memorable event from your life so far. Try to choose a very specific one that affected you greatly, or one that changed who you are as a person.
2. Extra credit option: "Dog Star" by Arthur C. Clarke timeline. Read the story "Dog Star" on p. 33 of the Holt textbook. List ten events that happen in the plot. Then rearrange the events so that they are in chronological time order. Make an illustrated timeline that puts the events in the correct chronological order. At least five of the events need to be drawn. Use color!
