Bundle Performance Task(s)
Students will write a narrative from another character’s point of view from one of the novels read during this bundle. For example, write about Elizabeth and Mr.
Darcy’s wedding (Pride and Prejudice) from the point of Lady Catherine or Caroline Bingley or from Frankenstein, write about the creature from the point of view of
William. Suggested length is 3-5 pages per the Common Core and is written in at least two drafts. Additionally, students will work in partners to create a book cover
for one of these novels. Students will choose a particular theme to depict on the front cover, choose 3-4 major characters to write a short character analysis,
develop chapter titles for each chapter and write their own synopsis of each chapter (be careful that students do not copy and paste from the Internet). Then
research book reviews on the Internet to place on the back cover. A possible assessment rubric is provided in the Appendix under curriculum for each performance
task.
