Keystone Literary Quiz

Direct Instruction

Choose one of the following THEMES or make up your own:

1. Blood is thicker than water.
2. Money can't buy you love or happiness.
3. There is beauty in simplicity.
4. The quality of life is more important than the time on earth.
5. Sacrifice and hard work are necessary to get what you want.

Choose a GENRE in which to write (fiction, non-fiction, poem, news article, journal entries, etc) and deliver your theme clearly and concisely. Whatever you decide to produce should tell some kind of a story.  You should NOT blatantly state your theme. It is for the reader to figure out. So, I will read your work and then I will:

Evaluate the author's use of a particular genre to deliver his/her intended theme.


Exit Pass

Why did you choose the genre and theme that you did? D you think you were effective? Why or why not?
