Last Week and your Work for the Final

Last week we watched "The Chronicles of Narnia"--what a great movie! I could definitely relate to many of the characters in the novel. Could you?

Your task for the FINAL EXAM:
Write a 1 - 1 1/2 page essay on ONE of the following questions. You chose a question today in class and had 30 minutes to draft about it.

1. In the beginning, Lucy's brother and sister don't believe she visited Narnia. Have you ever told the truth and no one believed you? Describe the situation and how you felt.
   
2. Lucy felt betrayed when Edmund does not back her up abou their trip to Narnia. He tells Peter and Susan that he didn't go when he in fact did. Has anyone ever betrayed you? Describe the situation. How did you respond? How did you feel?
   
3. Atfter the witch promises Edmund power as ruler, he begins dreaming abou tthe things he'd do and the law he will make. If you were king/queen, what THOUGHTFUL laws would you put into place AND why? Make sure your answer is realistic!
   
4. The 4 Pevensie children have a close relationship, even though they've struggled. How well do you get along with your siblings? Describe, with specific details, your relationship.
   
5. When the children become kings/queens, their new names have descriptions attached: Peter the Magnificant, Susan the Gentle, Edmund the Just and Lucy the Valiant. What would your name be and why do you feel you have earned that name? Give specific examples/reasons for choosing your new name.

The day of the exam, when you walk through the door I expect you to have in your hand:

• a one to one 1/2 page DOUBLE SPACED, TYPED essay (size and font issues the same as they have been all year)
• essay must be an ORGANIZED, THOUGHTFUL response
• spelling and grammar counts!
• proper MLA heading on your paper
• DO NOT include the question in addition to your essay on your paper. Embed the question in your response.

YOU MAY NOT HAVE YOUR PARENTS BRING IT TO YOU BECAUSE YOU FORGOT IT! If your printer does not work, you must bring it on disk so I can print it! If your computer does not work, you must make other arrangements before or after school tomorrow to get it typed, type it at the library or at a friend's house, etc. NO EXCUSES!
