10th grade honors class first assignment (assignment was given with the 9th grade final report card)
Dear Honors Students,
For those of you who do not know me, my name is Renee Lucas. I will be your OGT English/ English 2 teacher for the 2013-2014 year. Over the summer, I would like you to spend some time preparing for the upcoming school year. In order to prove to me your commitment to the program, I would like for you to read The Scarlet Letter and submit to me, for the first day of school, one of the following book-report-style projects. This will be your first grade and will set you up for the rest of your sophomore career. I expect that honors students will provide honors-quality projects.
Option one: Comic book/ graphic novel- style representation of a scene in the book that you find to be most compelling. Your comic book must have original drawings done by you and text to explain the scene as well as text in the form of quotes from the book.
This project requires pictures, and text.
MUST have at least 3 pages (each page will have at least 3 frames)
Option two: Create your own scene: after you have read the book, write a chapter to explain what happened to Hester Prynne and the father of her child before she is found to be an adulteress. Explain how the “sin” came about in the first place. Was she lonely? Unhappy? Confused? Did she really love the father of her child?
Try to write like Nathaniel Hawthorne
Your chapter must be at least three pages in length, MLA format, and double spaced.
For both projects, keep in mind that you are welcome to do whatever research you need in order to understand the content of the book; however your projects MUST be your own creations.
Have a great summer J,
Renee Lucas
