Trimester Overview
While reading Ayn Rand's Anthem, we will focus one content-based question and one skill-based question.
What is the ideal society for humankind?
[Of course, the answer to this requires us to move beyond our own mind - the question is NOT: What is the ideal society for (insert your name here)?]
How do character, conflict, setting, and author's style (tone, language, point of view) contribute to a literary work's theme?
[We understand these well as independent elements, but how they work together is the key to identifying theme.]
Website's Focus - Summary, Theme, and Tone
This website will focus on developing the skill of the second question. Here, you will post your summaries, theme analyses, and tone analyses. While we will continue to have many discussions based around this, it will serve as the control room of our discussions. Each page will house different aspects and you will have to post your responses after completing handwritten drafts of them as homework/classwork.
