Essential questions to be presented at the start of the unit and referenced throughout: How does society express gender expectations and how are they met or challenged? What influences us more our circumstances or our nature (instinct)? What is the purpose of intertextuality in the novel? Can we identify all the instances of intertextuality? Focus on Serena as a character and ask the question posed in How to Read Lit: Where Have I Seen Her Before? As a class, consider her character traits: greedy, manipulative, violent, secretive, power hungry, ambitious, cold, sexy, calculating, masculine, privileged, dominating ASSIGNMENT: In groups, identify women in literature who share these traits. Support your answers. Example: Eve in the Bible; the golden apple story in mythology Narrative Structure and Narrative Voice: Identify the narrative perspective(s) How does the author manipulate the narrative structure? What is the purpose of the gaps in the telling of the story, i.e, the fire? (Look at what is NOT there.) What is the effect of this withheld information on the reader? ASSIGNMENT: Choose a significant passage to rewrite from a different perspective. Below are some suggested passages: a. Chapter 1, the knife fight pages 8-10 b. Chapter 11 c. Chapter 27 with Sheriff and Rachel pages 270-272 Students may discuss the process in groups, but complete the assignment as individuals. Themes/Tone ASSIGNMENT: Identify the themes at work in the text and support your responses (survival, dominance, exploitation, betrayal, industrialization, pride); Identify the tone(s) of specific passages (i.e., dark, frantic, somber). ASSIGNMENT: Discuss the parallel between nature (landscape) and characters. For example, Serena is barren, just as the landscape is made barren. ASSIGNMENT: It is vital to make meaning of the mythological and biblical allusions in the text. Below are listed some of the key words and phrases found in the text, along with the pages on which they appear. Complete the chart and add to it with allusions you have found. SEE ASSIGNMENT IN FULL BELOW What is the purpose/lesson of the text? Other questions: Who is the protagonist?; What literary devices are at work? GROUP ASSIGNMENT: Trace the symbolic significance of weather in the text. FINAL ASSESSMENT: In a well-formed, timed essay (40 minutes), compare and contrast significant literary elements of Macbeth and Serena. Consider elements such as characterization and allusions. Be specific and avoid plot summary. Serena Allusions Exercise/AP English Literature NAME____________________________ PERIOD________________ Directions: It is vital to make meaning of the mythological and biblical allusions in the text. Below are listed some of the key words and phrases, along with the pages on which they appear, that have their basis in the Bible and in mythology. Complete the chart by determining the meaning of the allusions and then make certain you note their contextual significance. ADD to the allusions listed by providing at least 10 more you find on your own.

This requires you to first identify the existing narrative perspective and alter it in a logical, significant manner. Below are some suggested passages: a. Chapter 1, the knife fight pages 8-10 b. Chapter 11 c. Chapter 27 with Sheriff and Rachel pages 270-272 If you select a passage other than one of the above, make certain you consider its malleability. The objective of the assignment is to strengthen your individual understanding of the narrative perspective chosen by Ron Rash for the scene or scenes contained in the passage. Converting the passage to a different perspective forces a student to think critically about that chosen perspective. It also demands a critical analysis of the characters involved, as well as the conflict, characters, symbols, allusions, etc. The process for this assignment, once a passage has been selected, should begin with a discussion of the qualities of the existing passage. Take notes on tone, theme, etc. Ask yourselves why Rash used the narrative perspective he employed. How could it be altered and to what effect? What might be lost or gained? Do not simply consider this exercise one in which pronouns are substituted for proper nouns. The product is two-fold. You are required to turn in a rewrite of the passage in typed form (format passage is to appear as pages of the book [including page numbers], mimicking the books format; place your last name and period in the upper right-hand corner of each page). Attach to the rewritten passage your reflection on the experience. The reflection must be typed, double-spaced, with your full name and class period at the top right of the paper. Be thorough. Include reflections on knowledge gained regarding Serena, narrative perspective, additional elements of style, and the experience of fleshing out ideas with your group. Two grades will be given, one for the narrative rewrite and one for the reflection. The narrative rewrite is worth 150 points. The reflection is worth 100 points. STUDENTS WILL CREATE RUBRICS, as this is a vital part of gaining understanding of the assignment. 7:V f h     1 \ MN;<{;BGMŽŽŽŹŽŽŽŽ h.Qh.Qh.QhAuh.Q5hAuh.Q56hznhzn6hThAuhznhFhp2hW_h Ph"hElYhElY6hElY hElY6h;ph;p56 h;ph;ph;ph;phElY6OJQJ57 f   3 4  ' _  & Fgd P & Fgd Pgd P^gdElYgdElY & FgdElY & FgdElY$a$gd;p  D MNZ[<=-.gdzn & Fgdzn & Fgdp2gdp2^gd P & Fgd P^gdW_`gd Pgd P & Fgd P.{|,D $$Ifa$gdIT} $IfgdElYh^hgd.Qh^hgdElYgdp2gdzngdT & Fgdzn'Nq'vx+,CDE\]_`atuwxyƾƲ粮粮窲禲hhshXN9hY8hIT}h.Q6hIT}hXN96hIT}hY86 h.Q5 h5 hAu5 h85 h!5h!hh.Q6h.Qh.Qh.Q5ADE\]^_`qh____ $IfgdElY $Ifgd>kd$$IflF $ t06    44 lahytIT}`astuvwxqhhhhhh $IfgdElYkd$$IflF $ t06    44 lahytIT}xyqhhhhhh $IfgdElYkd<$$IflF $ t06    44 lahytIT}qhhhhhh $IfgdElYkd$$IflF $ t06    44 lahytIT}qhhhhhh $IfgdElYkdx$$IflF $ t06    44 lahytIT}qhhhhhh $IfgdElYkd$$IflF $ t06    44 lahytIT}3CDEFGqhhhhhh $IfgdElYkd$$IflF $ t06    44 lahytIT}3CDFGHdeikmnop )5?MZov  #3op@׾ײײh-oh$ h$ 5h$ hhW_hAuhhAu5 h56hh56hh5 h>5h.QhL hXN9h!hIT}h6h@GHejklmnoqhhhhhhh $IfgdElYkdR$$IflF $ t06    44 lahytIT}opqhhhhhh $IfgdElYkd$$IflF $ t06    44 lahytIT}qhhhhhh $IfgdElYkd$$IflF $ t06    44 lahytIT}qhhhhhh $IfgdElYkd,$$IflF $ t06    44 lahytIT}qhhhhhh $IfgdElYkd$$IflF $ t06    44 lahytIT}qhh__ZZZ__gd`gdAuh^hgdElYkdh$$IflF $ t06    44 lahytIT} $Z[jk 89h^hgdElYgdW_gd`gdAu@O_ri~4789 h.QhAuh-ohW_hW_5hW_h$ 5hh$ h$ 6h$ hW_21h:p>/ =!"#$% $$Ifh!vh5 55 #v #v#v :V l t065ahytIT}$$Ifh!vh5 55 #v #v#v :V l t065ahytIT}$$Ifh!vh5 55 #v #v#v :V l t065ahytIT}$$Ifh!vh5 55 #v #v#v :V l t065ahytIT}$$Ifh!vh5 55 #v #v#v :V l t065ahytIT}$$Ifh!vh5 55 #v #v#v :V l t065ahytIT}$$Ifh!vh5 55 #v #v#v :V l t065ahytIT}$$Ifh!vh5 55 #v #v#v :V l t065ahytIT}$$Ifh!vh5 55 #v #v#v :V l t065ahytIT}$$Ifh!vh5 55 #v #v#v :V l t065ahytIT}$$Ifh!vh5 55 #v #v#v :V l t065ahytIT}$$Ifh!vh5 55 #v #v#v :V l t065ahytIT}$$Ifh!vh5 55 #v #v#v :V l t065ahytIT}^ 666666666vvvvvvvvv666666>6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666hH6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666662 0@P`p2( 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p8XV~_HmH nH sH tH @`@ U?.NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DA D Default Paragraph FontRi@R 0 Table Normal4 l4a (k ( 0No List j j .Q Table Grid7:V0PK![Content_Types].xmlj0Eжr(΢Iw},-j4 wP-t#bΙ{UTU^hd}㨫)*1P' ^W0)T9<l#$yi};~@(Hu* Dנz/0ǰ $ X3aZ,D0j~3߶b~i>3\`?/[G\!-Rk.sԻ..a濭?PK!֧6 _rels/.relsj0 }Q%v/C/}(h"O = C?hv=Ʌ%[xp{۵_Pѣ<1H0ORBdJE4b$q_6LR7`0̞O,En7Lib/SeеPK!kytheme/theme/themeManager.xml M @}w7c(EbˮCAǠҟ7՛K Y, e.|,H,lxɴIsQ}#Ր ֵ+!,^$j=GW)E+& 8PK!Ptheme/theme/theme1.xmlYOo6w toc'vuر-MniP@I}úama[إ4:lЯGRX^6؊>$ !)O^rC$y@/yH*񄴽)޵߻UDb`}"qۋJחX^)I`nEp)liV[]1M<OP6r=zgbIguSebORD۫qu gZo~ٺlAplxpT0+[}`jzAV2Fi@qv֬5\|ʜ̭NleXdsjcs7f W+Ն7`g ȘJj|h(KD- dXiJ؇(x$( :;˹!
