In order to get an extra point each bimester, you will have to read a book (authorized by the teacher on the first two weeks of the bimester) and hand in a formal Book Review in which you must include: Title, author, date of publication.
Study the following suggestions first and prepare your notes. Be sure you include every single piece of information in your review.
1. Theme. (Is it convincingly worked out?)
2. Setting. (Is it functional? What does it add to the novel?)
3. Characters. (Are they real individuals with a balance of good and bad traits? Are they consistently drawn? Are they interesting?)
4. Plot. (It is believable? Does the climax grow naturally from the actions of the characters?)
5. Narrative point of view. (Does it add to the effectiveness of the novel? Does it unify the novel? Does the author ever speak directly to the reader?)
6. Tone. Describe the tone. What is its relation to the narrative point of view?)
7. Conclusion. (What do you regard as strong and weak points of the novel?
Would you recommend it? Why?)
Do not forget to separate your ideas in paragraphs.
This has to be written in Arial 10.
Deadline: The day before your first bimonthly exam.
Late Policy: No late submission wil be accepted for credits.
Cheating and plagiarism include copying someone else's answers during exams or in exercise assignments presenting other people's ideas and/or writings as your own in paper assignments and research projects. Anyone who is found to have cheated or plagiarized will recieve a failing grade for the assignment.
