1. Analysis Assessment #4: Evaluation–

Process

1. Please open a document on your computer. This is where you will type and save your answers to the questions below.
2. Please clearly label your responses so I know what questions you are answering.
3. Please also use MLA format, incuding double spacing.

Directions

1. Choose Four: Below you will find six topics. Choose and respond to
2. Point Values: Each topic is worth 12.5 points (for a total of 50 points possible).
3. Different characters, setting, and language: for all of the topics, you will establish and evaluate some basic feature of the literary works: characters, settings, or language.
4. Expectations for Responses:
   • For your selected topics, generate a one-paragraph response in which you explain ) how both provided characters accomplish the stated goal and b.) specifically why your choice accomplishes this goal more effectively than the alternate option.
   • Responses must be written in complete sentences and properly structured paragraphs.
   • Each response must be 150-250 words. I recommend including the word count at the end of each of your responses, to make sure you are meeting this requirement.
   • Responses should clearly address the prompt and follow all directions.
5. Quotations: You must use specific examples from the texts (give names, refer to particular scenes or statements made by characters, point out key descriptions), but you may not quote or paraphrase.
6. Research: Do not research your responses formally or informally. Your responses should demonstrate your understanding of the texts and concepts.
7. Assistance: The purpose of Analysis Assessments is for students to demonstrate their understanding of the critical approaches and literary texts we cover. If you consult Ashly or me, you can do so about grammar or clarity, but not about concepts or your knowledge of the texts.
