We covered the information needed to complete the allusion posters (Due MONDAY, April 27th)
and reviewed the definition of an allusion (see requirements below).

Students signed up for poster topics, based on the historical or literary allusions in their book.
We then went to the library to allow students to work at the tables or computers as they gathered information for their poster and finalized their character analysis essay outlines (due Thursday, April 23!!)

Requirements for the poster:
  • a title that clearly indicates the TITLE of the book and the ALLUSION you are presenting
  • at least 3 quotes that demonstrate how your research is related to the book's allusion(s)
  • at least 3 quotes from your internet research (CITED SOURCES!!!) that explain the allusion
  • at least 2 paragraphs that explain, in your own words, the connections between the historical event or literary reference and the book you are reading
  • visuals that help clarify the information (again, don't forget to cite your sources)
