Vocabulary - choose 4 words and write sentences with context clues to turn in.
1. Review and summerize story.
2. Review literary devices, uses and definitions.
Choose one of the topics below to type a four paragraph essay on NEO. Be sure to use SPECIFIC examples to support your ideas:
In 'Lady or the Tiger?", the author, Frank Stockton does not reveal if the princess chose the door with the tiger or the door with the lady. There is much evidence in the text to suggest either.
1. Argue both sides, one that the Lady told him to pick the door with the tiger, the other that she told him to pick the door with the lady. Start with an opening paragraph using ANT. Then a paragraph should support that she picked the door with the lady (provide evidence from text and character traits). Then do the same to support that she choose the tiger. Conclusion should restate thesis and include what you decided and why.
2. THEME - Human nature motivates us to behave the way we do.
Use this theme to explain why the KING and the princess act and do as they do. Opening paragraph using ANT, 2nd about KING, 3rd about princess and conclusion should restate thesis and include your opinion if their behaviors were justified or not.
