1.TIME
2.IMPORTANT PEOPLE
3.BEING THANKFUL
You will choose ONE of the short stories and at home, prepare a "PRE-WRITE" for one of the questions listed below. You will bring this to school tomorrow and use it to help you write your essay question answer.
Questions to choose from:
OPTION ONE: The relationship between unlikely people.
The "concept of time" is important in helping to shape both the relationship Miss Lucy had with Chester and for what she is truly thankful. While we see Chester as being important to Miss Lucy, she is also an important person to Chester? How?
OPTION TWO: Role of Time within relationships.
How could the various forms of time (of day, of year, time of life) play a part in Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones being an important person to Roger? Time even played a part in teaching the reader to be thankful. How?
Option THREE: The important role each friend has within a relationship.
Imagine if the two men had met up after a time of only FIVE years instead of twenty years. Who would have been more "important" at that meeting? during that "imaginary" meeting, if one of the men had tried to "help" the other do you think a sincere thankful spirit would have been shown by the other friend?
BRING the PRE-WRITE....DO NOT bring anything else (rough draft, full essay etc.) with you. Your pre-write must be hand-written in either blue or black ink. You will hand in the pre-write with your completed test.

hello, thanks for the prep!
ReplyDeleteI have a few quick questions though..
i'm a little confused with the options, are they the "questions to choose from:"?
if so, does that mean that for example if i chose to do my essay on the most important person,id have to do my prewrite based on option one using the question in that option to make up my points?
thanks:) FB
Yes.... to make it as straightforward and simple for our first "formal" test essay answer, you will pick ONE of the questions I have posted. All three questions deal with TIME, IMPORTANT PEOPLE and being THANKFUL. I organized these ideas for each story and made a question I believe each of you could answer. We are still learning strategies for developing topics so I think that using the italicized phrase at the beginning of each question.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your great questions!!! :)
