Junior Project 2013

The Junior Famous American Project is off and running. As we close the first week of research, you have chosen your Famous American, received an approval form, and filled in the due dates for the project. We have gone over outlining skills, notecard taking skills, and some works cited information. Your first deadline, the outline, is coming up tomorrow, Friday, May 17, 2013. Remember, submitting items on time earns FULL POINTS.

Thematic Essay - Moby Dick Resources

The themes of Moby Dick are many. There is the battle of good and evil in the form of Starbuck and Ahab; the search for truth; biblical references; foreshadowing of death; the human capacity for evil; and the number three. Another topic would be why Starbuck decides to continue the whale hunt after Ahab dies. In order to write effectively on the subject, check out these resources for your paper:
The Whale - chapter by chapter - the story
Spark Notes on Moby Dick - the summary

The rubric on the essay is located in the assignments section of the blog, to your right. Please note that no matter the theme, the paper should have logical connections, elaborate ideas from different angles, and evidence. Five pieces of evidence with at least one from the text, not the film, will give you a superior mark.

Study Guide and Natty Bumppo paper resources

The Prairie is a story about N. Bumppo, the personified American Frontier, and hero. In the book, Bumppo is faced with eminent death as an older man. Use this text to help write your paper.

The thesis: What characteristics of N. Bumppo (Hawkeye) personify the great American spirit of the frontier? Why are they admirable?

Must have a clear thesis with historical introduction
Clear analysis of the character of Natty Bumppo
Both the film THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS and The Prairie are used
Three characteristics
Six pieces of evidence, one quote for a 'B', use of two quotes for 'A'
