1 UNIT TEST Miss Shay English 10 honors Spring 2012 Assessment on Books One and Two of Les Miserables Today, instead of a formal essay, or a multiple choice examination, you are going to write a creative piece followed by a reflection. Creative Piece: You are going to re-write a scene from Les Miserables (Book one or two). In this scene, you must make some changes that demonstrate your understanding of the topics we have been talking about in class. Those topics are: Analyze characters traits by what the characters say about themselves in narration, dialogue, and soliloquy *Remember my letters to you and the epitaphs for Valjean?* Explain how voice, persona, and the choice of speaker (narrator) affect the mood, tone, text. *Remember how we acted out a scene and based upon who was acting out the character we had a different interpretation?* Evaluate s between characters in a literary text and explain the way those s affect the plot. *Remember our letters we wrote from Valjean to Champmathieu and vice versa?* Write for different purposes and audiences, adjusting tone, style, and voice as appropriate *Remember we did this in our eulogy for Valjean?* Produce legible work that shows accurate spelling and correct use of the conventions of punctuation and capitalization *Do your best! Show me what you have got!* I want to see you alter the scene in a way that changes a character and the way we think about them. I want to see some dialogue. I want you to keep the audience (Hugo s French) in mind and avoid slang and modern talk. I want to see how your scene changes the mood, tone, the text. Give me your best! Reflection: I want your reflection to be informal. I am not looking for punctuation here. You can bullet point, outline, list etc. any way you want to tell me why you did what you did. What mood, tone, or meaning did you want to change? How do you think you did that? What does that do to the story as a whole? How have your characters been altered? Are they better or worse? How do the character s change and affect the plot? How did you cater your writing to your audience? Look at the rubric I am passing out. This is what I will grade your assessment with.
