The plan

May 11 & 12 : creating an essay question + an outline for Brave New World

May 15: start writing 

May 16: feedback from your peers and continue writing

May 22nd: hand in your work for feedback from me 

After this, one essay where you compare both The Handmaid's Tale & Brave New World with a question given by us. 

Connecting your topic to the book

1. Find a subject (remember this does not have to be your finalized subject, it is work in progress!), you can use the 7 elements of fiction handout to help you.

2. Find 3 instances in the Brave New World where your subject is present.

3. Find 3 relevant quotes in Brave New World connected to these instances.

4. Explain their context and what this means for the story. 

Connecting your topic to the book

Find 1 instance in Brave New World where your subject is present but there is a difference OR an instance where you suspect your subject to be present but it is NOT there.

Creating 3 arguments

Guidelines arguments 

- Structure your arguments in a way that the final argument is the most important. Make sure that the two previous arguments lead up to this final argument. 

- Do your arguments provide an answer to your question? If not, you may have to be more specific, cut out the details and be more focussed. 

Connecting your topic to the book

1. Find a subject (remember this does not have to be your finalized subject, it is work in progress!), you can use the 7 elements of fiction handout to help you.

2. Find 3 instances in the Brave New World where your subject is present.

3. Find 3 relevant quotes in Brave New World connected to these instances.
