Assignment 5.3
Novel Notecard: Assign "Jane Eyre" Novel Notecard due next class.
In this assignment, you will be clicking on the "novel summaries" above. This will take you to the list of novel summaries. Scroll to the book we are doing this week.
Your job for this assignment?
~Read the "plot overview"
~write 12 bullet statements listing the
events of the plot in order, as well as the characters
and setting (who did what, when?)
~from these bullet statements, write a one paragraph
summary of the plot. Make sure you include the setting,
the main characters, and what happened in the story. Also, a good summary includes the basics of the entire storyline, rather than just the beginning, or your favorite parts.
~write a well-developed response to the novel. Did you like it? Did you hate it? Why?
Here is how "your response" should be done:
First sentence MUST tell me whether you liked the story or not and include your two reasons why you liked or didn't like the story. The rest of that first paragraph MUST support your first reason with examples from the novel to back up your reasoning. The second paragraph MUST support your second reason with examples from the novel.
Remember: The second sentence in the first paragraph MUST be your topic sentence for the first reason. The first sentence of the second paragraph MUST be your topic sentence for the second reason.
The "response" to the story must be 5-7 well-developed sentences for each of the two paragraphs to receive full credit.
