Claim, Evidence, WarrantDefinition of Claim:An assertion usually supported with evidence. Usually includes a support, refute, or qualify statement.Example: Students should not have cell phones in school because it is a distraction in the classroom

Definition of Evidence: Evidence provided to bolster the Claim and support the Warrant.Backing: In 2010, cell phone violations were the second most disciplined offense at Kentridge High School.

Definition of Warrant: the implied statement that creates a logical connection between the Claim and the Backing.Example: Even though cell phones are banned from school, it is assumed all students carry a cell phone with them, and many of them send text messages in class, but are never caught.

LIVING MUSEUM ASSIGNMENT PART 1: Research: You will conduct research on your god or goddess and create an annotated bibliography. This bibliography should include the following:5+ Sources: More sources will make your project higher quality, but you must have at least 5 different sources to get full credit. Different pages on the same website do NOT count as different sources. Don’t forget that you can use BOOKS to research as well—the internet is not your only option.MLA Format: cite your sources in MLA format. Many websites, such as easybib.com or Knightcite.com, can help you do this properly.Summary of Important Points: Summarize the article/book in 3-4 sentences, highlighting the important information you got from it, and where you will use it in your project. (Ex: costume ideas, fun fact, etc)

LIVING MUSEUM ASSIGNMENT PART 2: Living Museum: You will also turn yourself into a “living statue” of your god or goddess. During our class period, we will have an exhibit in the Commons where you (along with the other gods and goddess from our class and from other freshman language arts classes with the same period) will be on display. Here are the specifics:

Costume: Bring your god or goddess to life. Dress up in a creative way. Use props, costumes, etc. This is not a “realistic” representation of your god or goddess, but rather should include symbols and/or other abstract representations of him or her. Be creative and have fun with it, but also be sure to convey the essence of your god or goddess through your costume and props. Your costume should include at least 5 clothing items/props.

Sign: Either hold or wear a sign. Your sign should include your god/goddess’s name, what he or she represents (their domain), and an illustration to represent your god/goddess. This sign should be neatly hand-created or printed, in color (no pencil), and on professional-quality, unlined paper.

Poses: Pick a character-appropriate pose to hold during this museum—it should show the personality of your god/goddess, and also be comfortable enough for you to stay in for 15 minutes.

“On” Button: Have some way that a visitor to our Living Museum can make you “come to life.” This can be a little sticker on your hand or a string tied around your finger. When someone presses your button or pulls your string, you will “come to life” and tell the visitor about yourself. Here is what you should tell your visitors:• Basic overview and family history of your god/goddess• What the god or goddess represents (their domain)• If he/she goes by other names• Special skills he/she possesses• Symbols that he/she has• Friends and/or enemies that he/she has• Main events or stories that your god or goddess experienced• 1 fun fact about your god/goddess, OR a joke that your god/goddess might tell

CYCLOPS CARTOONOdyssey 9 Cyclops comic stripDescription of assignmentYou are creating a comic strip detailing the adventures of Odysseus and his men on the island of the Cyclops.To make your comic strip work, you will need to create six panels – a Sunday comic. (A Sunday comic, you might recall, is always color; yours should be colored too.)Each panel will represent one of the six points on the plot line - exposition, inciting moment, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution.Your choice of these six important parts of the Cyclops episode should therefore reflect/retell the story accurately.Each box will have text beneath it showing what part of the story is illustrated. That text must be a direct quote from the story and have the line number(s) in parentheses after it. You may invent short bits of dialogue to put inside the box itself.
