Language Arts 9 Track A Monday Assignment

Hello, Language Arts 9 Team!  Please look at the checklist posted right here - I have thrown it together based on your suggestions on what should be on it - your suggestions were great!  I added my own at the top, as I want to give you credit for the planning part, too.  I also three on some values for each section.  This has not been student-approved yet; those at home, could you please look it over, and see if you have any suggestions or changes that need to be made?  Is everything that is important accounted for?  Are the marks for each section fair?  Please either post your sections here, or send a thumbs-up for approval.                                                                                     
 THEN, go ahead and brainstorm everything you can think of to include in your letter, and organize it in a way that makes sense to you - what will go together in a paragraph?  Which paragraph will come first? Last?                                                                                                   
 
Please have everything ready to start your draft tomorrow.  If you prefer to type, and have a device you can bring to  type on, bring that,

"1408" Short Story/ Film Comparison:

Yesterday, we read the introduction to the Stephen King story "1408".  Create a T-Chart on which you will compare the introductions, and complete the story-side with at least 6 points that summarize the important events to page 375 of the story.  Then, watch the introduction (to about 24 minutes in), and do the same for the movie introduction to complete the T-chart.  Below the T-chart, answer the following:  Why the big difference?  Do they still serve the same function?

As we discussed on Friday, after we read "On the Sidewalk Bleeding," your post-reading activity will be to create a storyboard of the 12 most important scenes of the story, as if you were creating a short film.  consider the following:

  • Pretend you are planning a short film of Andy’s story, but you are limited to 12 scenes
  • Which 12 scenes will you include, to get the important points of the story?
  • Outline the scenes, then draw them onto a storyboard (you received one on Friday, but if you have lost it, feel free to draw your own)
  • The art doesn’t count!  Just the thoughts behind it.
