Assignment 12.6
Last assignment of the week:
College Students Only
This week, I would like you to focus on one particular thing you learned from class this week and write exclusively on that topic. For example, if an event happened in Oliver Twist that really made you think, write about it, or if something happened at home, write about it. It doesn't have to be a learning experience necessarily from the course material, it may be an experience that happened while 'living life"
To receive full credit, you should have 10-15 well-thought out sentences (which means several paragraphs written in correct form...topic sentences with support)
(30 minutes)

Assignment 12.5
In this assignment, you will be clicking on the novel icon below. This will take you to the Sparknotes website for the novel.
Your job for this assignment?
~Read the "plot overview"
~write 12 bullet statements listing the
events of the plot in order, as well as the characters
and setting (who did what, when?)
~from these bullet statements, write a one paragraph
summary of the plot. Make sure you include the setting,
the main characters, and what happened in the story. Also, a good summary includes the basics of the entire storyline, rather than just the beginning, or your favorite parts.
~write a well-developed response to the novel. Did you like it? Did you hate it? Why?
Here is how "your response" should be done:
First sentence MUST tell me whether you liked the story or not and include your two reasons why you liked or didn't like the story. The rest of that first paragraph MUST support your first reason with examples from the novel to back up your reasoning. The second paragraph MUST support your second reason with examples from the novel.
Remember: The second sentence in the first paragraph MUST be your topic sentence for the first reason. The first sentence of the second paragraph MUST be your topic sentence for the second reason.
The "response" to the story must be 5-7 well-developed sentences for each of the two paragraphs to receive full credit.
Note: Always submit your Summary/Response Paper as:
Title of Document: "12.5; Summary/Response--Name of Novel"
