Today we did a version of Give One, Get One designed to increase our cultural and historical knowledge. Then, I assigned a one-page research paper on your chosen allusion from Davita.
I sensed some apprehension here, but I think you're already well on your way to completing this assignment! The most important aspect of this assignment is to think about how your allusion enhances your understanding of the book. How does knowing more about Aunt Sarah's story help illuminate a theme regarding storytelling? How does knowing more about famous communists help illuminate a theme regarding political ideology? Explain your answer in this paper.
Do not worry too much about being correct in terms of MLA citations and works cited. We will do some work with that on Monday.
Check Edline if you need a copy of the assignment - I posted it in the folder labeled "Assignments."
Have a great weekend!
