Four-square Comparison Assignment

Today, I returned all of the Literature Charts that were turned in on Friday, May 3. I reminded everyone who hadn't turned theirs in yet to turn it in ASAP.

Today's assignment was a Four-Square Comparison. Click the link to download the PDF.

Steps for today's assignment:

  1. Look at the Literature Chart. See how it's organized by time period? You can easily see which piece is from which period. There's Puritan, Romanticism-Transcendental, Romanticism-Gothic, Harlem Renaissance, Roaring 20's/Jazz Age, and Science Fiction.
  2. Pick four individual pieces of literature from four different time periods.
  3. Write the names of the pieces in the four small boxes around the edge of the page.
  4. In the space between each of the four boxes, explain how the pieces are related. You can explain any connection the pieces may have. Consider whether they have similar characters, whether they contain similar circumstances, or perhaps whether they have similar thematic content. See below for a copy of the board notes.
  5. Compare two titles at a time; write in the space between the titles. Each space should have 4-5 complete sentences comparing the pieces.
  6. Turn it in when you are done. 
  7. Due when I see you on Tuesday, May 7 (periods 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) or Wednesday, May 8 (period 7).

Literature Chart - due Friday, May 3

This week, we started a retrospective look at the year. We started on Monday (4/29) by taking the Literary Refresher Notes, and then we continued by charting our reading progress through the year with a Comparative Literature Chart.

To view the Comparative Literature Chart and all of its associated documents, click here. This link will take you to my Google folder that has the chart and all of the MGS documents, as well.

This chart was due on Friday, May 3, 2019. If you were absent on Tuesday or block day this week, it will be accepted on Monday, May 6 with no points off for lateness. Any charts turned in after Monday will have late points taken.
