Essays are DUE tomorrow, Tuesday, July 23, at 3 pm! You will have time tomorrow to work on the drafts, peer editing, and the good copy! BYOD if you can.
Don't forget about our ISU oral component on THURSDAY AFTERNOON!
See details below:
You are invited to a party!
But - you can’t just show up and you can’t arrive empty-handed.
Here’s what you have to do:
1. Choose one of the main characters in your novel to be at the party.
2. Write a letter of introduction that you will read to tell us who you are. Your letter should be about 250 words and should indicate your character’s past and current circumstances in the novel. Highlight any important characteristics or personality traits that make the character special. Tell us a bit about what you believe your most positive or negative attribute is, and if that is different than what other people would say about you. Lastly, tell us how you feel about being at such a prestigious social event as this!
3. Bring something to share with the other fine people at the party! Choose a food that you think represents something about your character, or a food that is mentioned in the novel. Tell us about your food – what it is, what’s in it, and why you chose to bring it.
4. Enjoy the party, but be ready to answer (in character!) any questions other party-goers (or the hostess) may have for you!
Evaluation will be based on your understanding of the character and your ability to clearly communicate the qualities of your character to the rest of the class.
The party will be held on Thursday afternoon in 2503! Be sure to have your letter and your food contribution ready for then.
The hostess (with the mostess) will supply cutlery, plates, bowls and some pop and water.
Please let us know on Wednesday of any food allergies you may have!
