OK, friends! I know that you will all spend time curled up beside the lights of the Christmas tree, reading about Gregor and his Bug Life. I know that the pamphlet isn't too much and soon you will be ready for an assignment! Well, I spent a lot of time last year (all kidding aside) reflecting on what I want students to get from this book and this project and what would be the best assignment for you. It came to me like a lightning bolt in the middle of the night last night last December! So.... here you go. It's in three parts and before you panic, the entire assignment should not take you longer than about 3-4 hours, total. Probably less. OK? Not only that, I am not making it due until the Friday after we come back to school so.... for those of you who either choose to or NEED TO delay your work until we are back on schedule, you have that option.
DUE DATE: FRIDAY, JANUARY 12
Part 1: Shrinklit Poem
I haven't assigned this for a few years and I LOVED it when we did them before. Essentially, it's a 12 line rhyming poem that sums up a book. You will need to detail the plot but also address theme, tone, and characters. They are typically humorous, if only because they condense an entire book into twelve lines.
Your best bet is to first write a summary, then decide which pieces are most important. Take those pieces and work them into your poem.
Below is a great example of a Frankenstein ShrinkLit:
Frankenstein
Mary Shelley
In his occult science lab Frankenstein creates a flab
Which, endowed with human will
Very shortly starts to kill.
First, it pleads a lonely life
And demands a monster-wife;
“Monstrous” Frankenstein objects,
Thinking of the side-effects.
Chilled with fear, he quits the scene,
But the frightful man-machine
Follows him in hot pursuit
Bumping people off en route,
Till at last it stands malign,
By the corpse of Frankenstein!
Somewhere in the northern mists
Horrid thing – it still exists. . .
Still at large, a-thirst for gore!
Got a strong lock on your door?
~ Maurice Sagoff
Part 2: Let Your Creativity Run Wild!
I want a creative project over the book. The important piece here is that you don't just illustrate the events of the novel but convey the message, the deeper complexities, any author information you have, etc.. I am including some ideas for you that I found on Pinterest below. You will include an index card explanation with your project and that will be almost as weighted in the grade as the creative project itself. Options are a book cover, a tshirt, a poster, a graphic design, a repurposed book, a 3-D display, a diorama, it's as wide as your mind!!!

Sonnets
We are hitting several things today, all with sonnets. And hopefully all on the computers. First of all, after I give the notes, you will visit Sonnet Central (link here) and find a sonnet to annotate. What you will need to do is copy the sonnet and past it into a word document, then use the comments to annotate it. I don't want something with two or three points on it. I want something that looks like a WEB of detail. :)

Lit Terms 1
CONFESSION: I am reversing the order of the lit terms from the past few years. Normally we start with the VERY EASY ones and then work up to the hard ones. The problem with that (and something that previous groups agreed with me was a problem) is that you don't have much time to practice and use the harder terms. Ideally, you would learn them upfront and then you will recognize them when they show up on the practice tests. Well guess what??? We have a clean slate and we can DO IDEAL! :) But. Some of these are hard, and there are even more challenging ones in the future. Sorry.
Naturalism (as a literary era/genre)
Modernism (as a literary era/genre)

Letters
You will get the instructions for the senior letter in class on Thursday. In addition to that, I also want you to write a thank you letter to a teacher. I will be sending these to the teachers, so include as much identifying info as possible. If it's someone outside the CCS system, put it in a stamped envelope and put their first and last name and address. If you can't find an address, maybe pick someone else. This matters, people. It will make a hard time of year much more pleasant for these teachers.

The Things They Carried
I am really disappointed that the schedule worked out where you are starting this book without me. I am especially disappointed because I think this book deserves an incredible and passionate introduction, not someone who isn't me dropping copies on your desks. This book is phenomenal. It is well-written, it is an incredible documentation of history, it allows the reader and writer to involve themselves in the most intricate of dances, and it's beautiful poetry. There is a lot of profanity, which is why we are only reading certain chapters, but if that sort of thing doesn't bother you, I would read more than the assigned chapters. We will work on this book starting on Monday of next week, so have it finished! Also, make sure that you have your Flurry of Frenetic Focus to turn in!
Here is a PDF of the whole book. However, we have copies for most/all of you.
http://savanna.auhsd.us/view/26051.pdf
You aren't reading the whole book UNLESS YOU WANT TO, which I highly recommend. :) I'll list the chapters below for you to read.
Love, pg 26
On the Rainy River, pg 39
The Dentist, pg 86
Stockings, pg 117
Church, pg 119

A Few Things...
We are in that frantic place where there aren't as many days left as there are words to say and things feel chaotic and plans get adjusted and the end is coming and it's happening and there is nothing I can do to stop it and there is so much more to read and to write and to say and to impart and .... AUGH! :)
That's a little look into my mind. I did just want to clarify a few things here.
1. Tuesday, 5/2, will be a day of periods 2, 3, and 1, so we won't have this class until the last period of the day. In addition, all of you will be with me for the entire two hours. We will be doing some last minute centering and I will have something for you. (The Flurry of Frenetic Focus mentioned on your to do list will be part of tomorrow.)
2. Wednesday, 5/3, is the test. You will report to Raider Arena Room 12. PLEASE eat a good breakfast, get plenty of sleep the night before, have writing utensils (pencil and pen), think clearly, take it seriously, remember your training, etc, etc, etc..
3. Thursday, 5/4, your to do list mentions teacher letters being due. Don't worry about those in advance. You will do them in class on Thursday.
4. I am taking personal days Thursday and Friday, May 4 and 5. You will have things to do in class on those days (Friday I am not sure if you will be here for all of class or not). On Thursday, your class will meet in the room beside Coach Renshaw's room.
5. We have one more work to read and we are only reading excerpts from it. It will be a nice way to round out the year, I think. I will give it to you this week and we will work with it the week of May 8.
6. Tuesday, May 9, is our AP Movie night at my house. I think we will meet for dinner around 7, then start the movie at 8. It's an hour and a half, so we should finish by 9:30, 9:45 or so. I will have dinner for you (probably hamburgers or hot dogs) if you all just want to bring drinks and chips and desserts.
7. Your final project is due on Friday, May 12. The full explanation of it is on the blog. It will serve as your final exam grade and so you need to DAZZLE me.
8. Your last journals are due Friday, May 12 as well. Thanks for a great year of getting to know you through these journals!
It's almost over, guys! It makes me sad to say that, but it's almost over.
