Animal Farm
by George Orwell
He was from Illinois, saw wartime service in Italy, lived in France, skied in Austria, owned homes in Cuba and Florida, and hunted in Kenya. Yet the places he loved most were Spain and Idaho, in that order. His deep affection for Spain and the similarities it shared with Idaho - the rugged piney hills, snowy peaks, cold trout streams and Basque shepherds - created an inseparable bond.
So, this fall, it’s from Sun Valley - where he wrote For Whom The Bell Tolls - that we draw inspiration from Hemingway's life, reflections captured in the photographs depicting an intimate moment shared with his son, bird shooting with friend Gary Cooper, or deep in thought over his manual Royal typewriter. These are the images that give us a glimpse into the life of a writer, a sportsman, an adventurer, a man with flaws and weaknesses, a man with passion and greatness, a man of character. - See more at: http://www.benchandloom.com/men-of-character/hemingway#sthash.xsn1qGM6.dpuf

Reading Workshop Procedures and Requirements
1) Your first entry for a book needs to include title and author, and after this entry you need to only record the date and pages read. 2) As you read, record on a sticky note the information for the assigned reading strategy. After you read, place sticky note under recorded date and pages read. 3) Answer a question from the Reading Log Prompts handout using a specific example from your book with MLA citation. 4) Every Friday you will add a summary of what you want to remember from the week's reading - 8 to 12 line minimum. After you finish a book.... 1) Using "Reading Log Assignment for High School Students" handout, answer each question under setting, characters, conflict, and theme. Make sure you restate the questions in your responses - you may use heading for this portion of the essay. Cite specific examples using MLA citation format. The final portion of the essay is a 250 word minimum on why you like the novel using specific examples. The paper must have a MLA heading, Times New Roman font, 12 size font, double spaced, including a title. You must do this for each book you read. 2) Fill out the Reading Checklist and attach the reading response essay, and hand it in to me for evaluation. 3) For your first Gateway novel, one that must be from the 2014-2015 list, you will ask me for the quiz, take it during reading time, and return it to me for grading along with Reading Checklist so that I can record your score. 4) For your second novel, you may read what you want; however, you must choose a project and complete it using the rubric. This will be turned in with the Reading Checklist so that points can be recorded. Do not lose your Reading Checklist or other completed work because it is not recorded until the end of the quarter. The same checklist will be used again for the 4th quarter. All requirements for 2 novels must be handed in on March 2! |
