In class: vocabulary quiz "Rime of the Ancient Mariner"
Directions for the final assessment for Virginia Woolf's "A Room of One's Own"
class handout / copy below
Below are the directions for the final assessment. You have up to four days in class for writing.
For those who have completed their assignment by the end of day on Monday, we will have a game / celebration day on Tuesday. For those who still need work on Tuesday, you will work with Ms. Walsh or in the office. However, I repeat that ALL ESSAYS ARE DUE ON TUESDAY AT THE END OF THE DAY, AFTER WHICH THEY ARE WORTH ONLY 50 points.
Please be mindful that if you did not complete the last Hamlet essay, you are failing, as it's the only writing assignment in the grade book; and this weighs in the 50% category. The "Room" essay will help you greatly. (Remember also that any late work can be turned in for 50 points, which is much better than the zero you have now.)

Final Assessment for
Virginia Woolf’s “A Room of One’s Own”
You have a choice of
three different topics that have been differentiated in terms of complexity and
length. For all three, you will need to use your completed graphic organizer
for textual evidence. As well, make use of your annotations. All essays are due
at the end of class on Tuesday, November 24.. Work on this at home and study halls for
added time. There will be no extensions. Begin with a MLA heading.
Essay choice 1: the
challenge
How are the
central ideas of patriarchy and chastity developed through the Shakespeare's character Ophelia and Judith in Woolf’s essay “A
Room of One’s Own?”
Organize your ideas
in outline form before you begin to write. Please turn this in with your essay.
Details: minimum 5
paragraphs / minimum 500 words; include an introduction with a hook sentence
and clearly stated thesis.
Body paragraphs:
focus on literary elements: character, plot, themes, tone and rhetorical
devices; (rhetorical questioning, parallelism, irony). Weave in textual
evidence when possible. Make sure each paragraph has a clear main idea, proof
and an analysis statement. Why is what you have just written significant?
Consider family and societal expectations.
Conclude with an original concept, not a repetition of your
introduction. What is the larger significance as related to your
original thesis statement? Can you make a societal, historical or
cultural connection?
Essay 2:
How did Woolf’s
fictional Judith fare under patriarchy, which is a system of society or
government in which men hold the power and women are largely excluded from it?
Begin
by using your graphic organizer to complete the evidence collection tool.
This will allow you to collect the textual evidence for each of your
paragraphs. This must be turned in with your essay.
Details: minimum 5 paragraphs / 450 words; include
an introduction with a hook sentence and clearly stated thesis that
incorporates three of the four topics you have researched: (voice, family,
chastity, mental health)
Body Paragraphs: for organizational purposes, focus only on one topic per body
paragraph. Make sure you have a clear thesis statement, proof, which may be
text woven in your sentences, and an analysis statement. The analysis
statement must give a reason (how or why) what you just wrote is significant.
Conclude with
an original concept, not a repetition of your introduction. What is the larger
significance as related to your original thesis statement? Can you make a
societal, historical or cultural connection?
Essay 3:
Compare (emphasize the
similarities) and contrast (emphasize the differences) between Shakespeare’s
life and that of the fictional Judith as described in her essay “A Room of
One’s Own.”
Begin by using the
graphic organizer on Shakespeare’s & Judith’s lives. Select 4 of the 5
areas and find textual examples. This must be turned in with your
essay.
Details: minimum 400 words / 5 paragraphs; include
an introduction with a hook sentence and clearly stated thesis that
incorporates four of the five topics you have researched: work, family,
relationships, entertainment and education.
Body Paragraphs:
You will need to combine a couple of the topics into your body
paragraphs. Make sure you have a clear thesis statement, proof, which may
be text woven in your sentences, and an analysis statement. The analysis
statement must give a reason (how or why) what you just wrote is significant.
Conclude with an
original concept, not a repetition of your introduction. What is the larger
significance as related to your original thesis statement? Can you make a
societal, historical or cultural connection?
