Advanced Placement Students
During the entire unit, my students and I have identified, analyzed, discussed and written how the various authors have used various literary devices to characterize and present their perspective of the unit themes. The AP students can choose the genre: a short story, a sonnet, a satirical piece, a one-act play or comedy, or a novella based on one of the unit themes. The specific prompt is in the Lesson Plans Section
College Students
Since the unit will be based on differentiation, I will give my sophomores the opportunity to choose what to write: a speech (this will satisfy our present curriculum but it will also respond to the new standards) or a creative piece – a poem, a lyric, or a brief short story, and/or short film for the struggling students. The specific prompt is in the Lesson Plans Section.
