scarletI wanted my students to synthesize what they’d learned about the novel, the characters, the themes, and the reasons why we read in a short paper.

I created an assignment sheet to guide their writing. I was slightly more flexible this time around. My goal was to see what the students learned–I accepted first person, narrative/personal writing–however, I wanted three pages of analysis and textual evidence.

Here’s the assignment sheet: The Scarlet Letter Final Paper.
