Summer Assignment
For those of you who managed to misplace your summer assignment, here it is. I would advise you to not misplace things in the upcoming school year...that could prove disastrous.
Summer Assignment for Honors English 10
Requirements: You are to acquire and read Lord of the Flies by William Golding and To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee.
Assignment: You must write an essay for both novels. Each essay must follow the format at the bottom of this sheet.
Directions: In the essay, you must make an argument for the theme of the novel and support your argument with examples from the text, or you may do a character analysis of a character from the novel, exploring the symbolism surrounding the character, examining the character’s role in the theme of the novel, or arguing a comparison to another character from literature. The essay must be in the classic five-paragraph format. It must contain a thesis statement, and the topic sentences must refer back to the thesis. *DO NOT SUMMARIZE THE NOVEL.* Summarizing is the fastest way to earning no credit for this assignment. Committing plagiarism on either of these essays will result in expulsion from the Honors English program.
