Due:
In the last paragraph of his essay, Jon Carlo reflects, "The two worlds that comprise my being constantly play tug of war in my mind. My parents came from poverty in Ecuador, so I was raised believing that hard work and education can take you anywhere. Whether that work is in the classroom, at the gym or networking at a business event, persistence is what fosters success. Not your race. Not your native language. Not your ZIP code." How does his view on achieving success align with your beliefs/experiences? What do you believe determines someone's ability to accomplish their life's goals? ****Your response should be a thoughtful, 10-12 sentence paragraph that addresses ALL questions asked.****

Due:
Think about the statement you chose from our pre-reading discussion and its connection to the story. In a well-developed one paragraph response, identify the statement and explain how it relates to the story "The Tell Tale Heart." Based on the text, do you agree or disagree with this statement? Cite at least two pieces of evidence from the text to support your thinking.
FORMAT:
*In your paragraph, include the title of the text, the author, and a BRIEF summary of the text. (EXAMPLE: In "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe, the narrator believes a raven has come to visit him with a message from his lost love, Lenore. OR In "The Cask of Amontillado" by Edgar Allan Poe, Montresor plots revenge against his "friend" Fortunato after being unable to endure Fortunato's insults.)
*NOTICE I don't tell the ENTIRE story...I just give the main conflict.
*Make you claim....identify the statement you chose and state whether the narrator/plot details/etc. PROVES or DISPROVES your chosen statement. (EXAMPLE: Montresor's actions throughout the story easily prove the statement, "It is possible to be temporarily insane." OR Due to the narrator's reliability, the statement, "Only insane people commit murder" is completely false.
*Use details from the text (both cited and paraphrased) to support your claim. Lengthy pieces of evidence should be summarized and paraphrased while things like dialogue, figurative language, and imagery should be cited because the exact words are needed in order to fully supported your claim.
*Be sure to CLOSE your paragraph with something that ties into your opening (1st few sentences)...closing with something like "These are my reasons why....OR This is my evidence for....OR So, yeah, that's what I think....OR What do you think"-------------------NOT GOOD! Look at how you started and what your point is and transform or play off of that to develop a well-rounded, interesting closing. (EXAMPLE: People do things in the heat of the moment and sometimes can't determine right from wrong when their emotions get the best of them; that's exactly what happened in Montresor's case.)

1. In your digital notebook, add a new slide under your last completed assignment.
2. Add “6 Word Memoir” and the appropriate slide # to your Table of Contents.
3. Create a slide that uses colors (think of the emotions that different colors represent) and/or an image that enhances the setting, plot, mood, or theme of your story. Be creative, but keep it simple. The visual should compliment your story, not distract from it. (See EXAMPLES)
4. Place your 6 Word Memoir on the slide. Choose a font that suits the story.
5. Add your digital notebook to this assignment and TURN IT IN.
Have fun designing your slide! However, the creation of the slide should take you no more than 15-20 minutes.
