the curious incident of the dog in the night-time    Extra Credit

Due Date: April 3

Option 1:  Character Facebook Profile
Create a Facebook profile for a character from the curious incident of the dog in the night-time   . You will take on the personality of your character and create a profile for them (you do not have to create an actual Facebook profile…a word document or poster board with the Facebook template will do just fine) You will need to use information from the novel to decide what they would post or write.
You need to include the following on your character’s Facebook profile:
A profile picture as well as 4 other pictures displayed on the profile (can be drawn or printed)

A total of three status updates (with appropriate comments and likes) that tell about events that happened to your character in the novel

An “info” section, complete with favorite music, favorite TV shows/movies, favorite books, favorite quotes, a “personality traits” section with at least 5 traits, a likes/dislikes section with at least 3 things in each category, and an “About Me” section highlighting their dreams/goals, why they might want these things, what limits them from living these dreams.

Profile must show personality traits, conflicts the character encounters, dreams/motivation/limitations, and the growth and development of the character. These things can be shown through the “Info/favorites” section, wall posts from other characters, status updates, mobile uploads, pictures with captions, etc.

Any other category that is on Facebook that you can make relatable to the character (use your creativity)
Remember, the characters do not live in today’s world, so they would not use the same terms/slang you might use on a daily basis. Really embody the character when you are making your page.
You will end up with two pages: one page showing their wall and one showing their information. Feel free to use different colors and make the Facebook page personal to the character, but follow a similar template to Facebook.

Option 2: Character Collage

Your collage will represent a character from the curious incident of the dog in the night-time. You will take on the personality, dreams, struggles/limitations, mannerisms, attitudes, etc. through visual means. Your collage will include both images and quotes from the novel in which the character expresses his or her deepest wishes. 
Your collage will be accompanied by a one-paged essay explaining your character’s dreams and limitations. 
Your essay should include textual evidence to support your argument. 
Your collage should consist of images and quotes expressing your character’s life.
Be sure your collage shows a great deal of thought, creativity, and effort/polish. Are there other forms of a collage you might use? Other elements besides magazine pictures? A shape for the whole collage that would be symbolic? A way to represent a character’s change over time?

Regents Exam in ELA 
Part 2 Argument
Directions: Closely read each of the four texts provided on pages 13 through 20 and write a source-based argument on the topic below. You may use the margins to take notes as you read and scrap paper to plan your response. Write your argument beginning on page 1 of your essay booklet.
Topic: Does the Internet have a negative impact on our thinking process?
Your Task: Carefully read each of the four texts provided. Then, using evidence from at least three of the texts, write a well-developed argument regarding whether or not the Internet has a negative impact on our thinking process. Clearly establish your claim, distinguish your claim from alternate or opposing claims, and use specific, relevant, and sufficient evidence from at least three of the texts to develop your argument. Do not simply summarize each text.
Guidelines:
Be sure to:
• Establish your claim regarding whether or not the Internet has a negative impact on our thinking process
• Distinguish your claim from alternate or opposing claims
• Use specific, relevant, and sufficient evidence from at least three of the texts to develop your argument
• Identify each source that you reference by text number and line number(s) or graphic (for example: Text 1, line 4 or Text 2, graphic)
• Organize your ideas in a cohesive and coherent manner
• Maintain a formal style of writing
• Follow the conventions of standard written English
Texts:

          A second support to the claim that U.S. Congressional lawmakers_(should/should not)________________ have term limits. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX  Consider the following argument from text 4, line 6 which states ”>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>…….”
          A third (or final)support to the claim U.S. Congressional lawmakers_(should/should not)________________ have term limits. XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX   the following argument from text 1, line 2 which states”>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>…….”
        Some people argue the opposing claim (alternate/counter) that U.S. Congressional lawmakers_(should/should not)_”opposite”_______________ term limits. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX This opposing claim can be found in text 3 line 4 , which states “>>>>………………………>>>>>>>”. As stated there is more evidence in backing of the claim that U.S. Congressional lawmakers_(should/should not)________________ have term limits. XXXXXXXXXX                                                                      In conclusion the claim that U.S. Congressional lawmakers_(should/should not)________________ have term limits.

Extra Credit Assignment  2nd Quarter                                                      
Due: January 5

“A Christmas Carol”  By Charles Dickens
Compare and contrast. There are various ways to get to know the story. You may be able to read it on your own, or watch a play or alternately you may view a film.

 A Christmas Carol is unusual in the huge range of versions that have been made - as well as Dickens' original there are books in print, radio and TV dramatizations, feature films and animations. Some are very true to the original, while others may be very loose adaptations.

 All of these may help you learn the outline of the story and the characters. The very free adaptations are useful, for seeing what things from the original are kept. Those that use Dickens' narrative and dialogue will give you a more accurate idea of what the novella is about. However, to understand the story in enough detail, you will need to look at some or all of the original text.

ASSIGNMENT:  Write a 300-500 word essay on the following:
Compare and contrast the written version of “A Christmas Carol” to its filmed version (either that below or the one seen in class), analyzing the effects of techniques unique to each medium (e.g., lighting, sound, color, or camera focus and angles in a film).

Compare and contrast the experience of reading the TEXT to viewing a DVD version. You may include contrasting what you “see” and “hear” when reading the text to what you perceive when you listen or watch.

Analyze both mediums evaluating how each version interprets the source text.

CRITERIA:  

Creativity, sensitivity, practicality, clarity, conciseness and neatness. 
Do not PLAGIARIZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Type into Google Classroom. Please make sure you have an MLA Heading.
Each assignment must be original, have a title, and be in English.
