Today in class you got progress reports - please take them home and share them with your parents. Bring them back to me signed.
We are starting one of the most difficult things of the year - your term paper. In this assignment you will come up with an idea about the novel that you are reading and then prove your idea through research and discussion. Tonight, we are beginning the opening step. Come up with your thesis!
Your thesis should examine how one of the motifs is used in the text and what the message is. Remember to take it beyond the text. What is this motif showing us about humanity or about America?
Once you have your thesis - you need to find two quotes to support your thesis. Remember to put the citation at the top of the card. One quote per index card.
Tomorrow I will check your thesis and index cards. We will meet in the library to begin looking at research.
