Literature Essay:
Five-paragraph style essay
You will choose from among five thesis statements and you will support ONE of those thesis statements
by using two major works we read this year (To Kill a Mockingbird, Of Mice and Men, Night, Romeo and
Juliet) and a personal experience from ninth grade.
Graded on successful essay format, thoughtful use of book details, and intelligent analysis and
discussion.
How to prepare? Read through old quizzes and notes for those works. For each work, list main
characters, conflicts, and themes as a refresher. You will not be expected to use direct quotes, but to
simply discuss the work knowledgeably.
