Assignment+10

Finally, we are done! One last assignment before you come to Uniontown High School! Aren't you excited? Nervous, perhaps, but don't worry, you'll love the high school. The first couple days might be a little scary, but once you learn your way around, you'll do fine. Just be ready to work hard in Honors English!

For the final assignment, I want you to first go back to [|60-second Recap]. Watch the Conclusion video again (#10). Then write an essay of at least 400 words in which you summarize the novel in a compare/contrast form with this video. With which points do you agree with Jenny, and where do you disagree? What impact does this novel have on our society today, or does it not have any? As always, use details from the text to support your assertions.

Then I want you to read 3 other summaries and pose a question to that student. Remember, someone will be asking you questions, too, and I want you to respond to them. I only want each student to have to answer 3 questions, though, so if you come across an entry that already has 3 questions on it, skip it and go to another one. I don't want one student to get 5 questions while another only gets one, ok?

That's it, you're finished! Yay! I'll see some of you in a couple days, and the rest in January. I hope you all had a great summer, and I hope you have a wonderful freshman year. I look forward to spending time with each one of you, and I wish you all truly enjoy Honors English 9!

Now, simply for your enjoyment, here's a trailer for a film version of the novel. Doesn't it look like it would be cool to watch?
