I have a project due Friday, so I might not be on as often (not that I do much when I'm on, now, anyways XD). Just so you guys know how bad this project is, I'll put up what we have to do:

Part I: Author Study

A. As you finish reading A Separate Peace by John Knowles, write a competent (1-2 page typed) summary of what youhave learned about his approach to writing the novel. For example, examine the perspective the author has, how he relates his information to us, the reader.

B. Then, as if you were coducting an interview, identify three in depth questions you would like to ask the author, and write his responses to your three questions. (100 words per response)

Part II: Friendship

A. Analyze each of the following themes of friendship, conformity, truth and falsehood, and growing up. Make a chart comparing and contrasting the ways of each of these themes relate to your own life, the novel, an the two main characters.

B. Define these ideas and how they affect your behavior, and the behavior of the two main characters.

C. Find 15-20 examples of specific passages from the novel to reinforce your ideas about what the author has to say in regard to these themes. Be sure to use ML format when quoting from the text.

Part III: The Map

A. Using details from the novel, create a detaied map of Devon Prep including the natural geography and buildings.

B. Be sure to highlight/identify the locations of symbolic importance, using specific textual citations in a separat key that explains each location on the map.

C. Use your imagination to fill in the rest of the map with appropriate points of interest not mentioned in the novel. Make a special effort to show how the natural setting affects the characters-and how the chatacters affec the natural setting.

Part IV: My Word

This is your reflection. Wen you write a reflection, you are writing about how you have been personally and emotionally affected by the story. This should be the crowning achievement of your project. Citing pssages from the book in order to support your words gives power. This is your opportunity to giveyour opinions in sophisticated language about how the book has changed you in some big or small way. Correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation will be required.

Putting it all together

You will need to assemble your final product in a 3-pronged folder with the sections clearly labeled in order. You will be graded on presentation and neatness. Enjoy!
