Ms. Kreycik's Class Pages

12/1 Monday Traditional

​

1. ORB assignment: Choose 2 completely different, unrelated thematic messages from your book (even though

    your book is non-fiction, every writer chooses which details to emphasize and which to to gloss over....so

    figure out what two different messages are in your book.

    Next, you'll need three pieces of evidence from your book to prove each message (6 pieces of evidence total)

    these pieces of evidence will be things that happened in the book you remember.

    Lastly, you'll need 2 quotes---one quote about each message, put together on a typed sheet of paper in this order:

    MLA style heading, pagination, and a title (in this case, title should be the title of your book the author's name, with the words      Thematic Analysis, like this: if title of your book was The Tiger: a True Story of Vengeance by John Vaillant; YOUR title will be:

    Thematic Analysis of The Tiger: a True Story of Vengeance by John Vaillant.

    Underneath the title, left justify the first thematic message.

    Underneath the first message, give the quote for that message with a citation and page number the quote was from.

    Underneath the quote, number 1., 2., 3. and next to each number describe the evidence for the message

    that was in the book.

    Repeat with the second message and submit to google classroom by Monday 12/8 (and if you haven't shown me the book,

    you will need to show it to me either before school Tues-Fri or at support this week...a picture or photo will not be sufficient...

    you need to show me you have the book....if your score for the assignment in aeries is NA you have already shown me your          book; if it is a red box you have no shown me yet.

    See sample format to the right:

4. Study Sync "Hope is the Thing with Feathers" by Emily Dickinson--complete in class today

​

5. The Sun is Also a Star video planning: your team will create a music video related to "The Sun is Also a Star"

    you will need the following items (be aware you should not be choosing thematic messages until you finish the book,

    since you'll have no way of understanding any messages until you see how the story concludes.

    Be aware you'll need to use things for the video that you have legal access to (images, music, etc.)

    a. One song as the background music track for your video (do NOT use multiple songs...since videos will be short--no longer

    than 3.5 minutes--multiple songs will be choppy).

    b. Three DIFFERENT thematic messages....these will need to appear on video as readable text, take up the whole screen

    with text as large as you can make it)

    c. Three quotes, one for each thematic message, LARGE text on screen so easily visible from back of from

    d. Images of things/objects/locations from the novel that come and go throughout the video

    e. three super short video clips of important moments from the novel--preferably one image for each of the three messages

         your team chooses (e.g. a museum, immigration headquarters, space images, hair care, etc.).

    Be creative and artistic....and prove you have some understanding of the novel ;) Video will be due Monday 12/15

    Assign specific tasks to each person on your team....if you suspect someone will not pull their weight, have a backup plan;

    each teammate will have opportunity to tell me who contributed what. Assign ONE person on team as your manager...

    it will be this person's job to make sure teammates stay on task, get their assignments to the team on time, and to

    help resolve disputed abut meeting times, etc.
