Monday

I will be gone for about a week taking Callia to New York and moving her into college. You will be in the library during that time. Here is what you need to do this week, and while I'm gone.

Here is what we will be doing this week. Note - I did not assign you the Literary Term project this week.

Monday: Finish reading "The Most Dangerous Game" and work on short story outlines.

Tuesday: Write the sequel to "The Most Dangerous Game" - (see assignment below):

Journal Entry #1
Imagine that you are Sanger Rainsford and have escaped from Ship-Trap Island. You have been accused of murder—the murder of General Zaroff and his servant, Ivan. Using facts (evidence) from the text (this means you should summarize and quote from the text) you must write a defense speech that will prove your innocence. The speech must be at least ten sentences long. Remember, you are trying to prove your innocence so be as detailed as possible and use evidence (actual facts and occurrences from the story, the text) to clear your name. You may even call forth eyewitnesses if you so choose. 

This needs to be at least ten sentences long and needs to continue the story in some way or fashion keeping truthful to the original.

According to "Cumming Study Guides":
Who Wins the Game?

It appears that Rainsford wins the game. However, close examination of the ending leaves the question open. The key sentence to consider is this one spoken by Rainsford: “I am still a beast at bay.” Referring to himself as a beast may suggest that he has corrupted himself, like Zaroff. After he kills Zaroff—apparently in a knife duel—he sleeps in Zaroff's bed, as if he is Zaroff. In losing his life, Zaroff may have won Rainsford's soul. 

Wednesday-Monday: Work on Storyboard Projects and finish writing sentences will all the vocabulary words. 

STORYBOARD PROJECT:

By yourself, you will create a storyboard for “The Most Dangerous Game”.  I want you to use your notes on the list of events in the plot.  Things you will need to include in your storyboard:

1)    At least twelve events from the story.  Make sure you have at least one scene dedicated to each part of the part. 

2)    Above the scene write the part of plot in which the scene happens.

3)    Below the scene write a brief description of the scene.

GRADING:

Your will be graded in the following ways:

1)    Drawing of each scene – 24 points

2)    Labeling of plot for each scene – 12 points

3)    Explanation or description of each scene – 12 points

4)    Neatness, spelling, and color in the drawing – 5 points

TOTAL POINTS POSSIBLE: 53 pts.  This project will be due next Wednesday and will be put on the walls for everyone to see – including future students.
