Must include the quote (at least 4-15 words, except for juxtaposition, and highlighted) from the novel and location of the quote (Chapter & page # and highlighted).
4.
Must include an explanation ( write this word) that clearly first briefly discusses how the example is the term
(allusion for example) and then how this specific allusion contributes to one of the novel’s specific themes.
This connection must be AT LEAST 3 sentences in order to earn credit. Must identify this specific theme and highlight the specific theme. The idea of good over evil will not be considered a specific theme and therefore your points are lost. Your themes can cover some specific aspect of loneliness, perseverance, or the American dream, etc.
Remember that a theme is NOT one or two words.

DO NOT USE THIS EXAMPLE. THIS QUOTE IS OFF LIMITS FOR YOUR NOTEBOOK.
#8. Metaphor a.
Example: “He (Ethan) was but the ruin of a man.” Page 3 of the beginning b.
Explanation: This example is a metaphor because it is comparing two unlike things
(specifically Ethan and a ruin) without using comparison words. c.
Theme statement: When one has a moral compass, this fact can prevent him from reaching his dreams and can bring about his downfall. d.
Connection: This metaphor connects to the theme statement above because at the end of the book which is the beginning; the reader sees that Ethan is truly a “ruin of a man.”
Throughout the novel, one understands that………………..and due to specific choices
(which you will name) Ethan is not able to …………………………..
You have not read the entire book. Therefore, my example above is NOT long enough. This part should be a MINIMUM of three sentences in order to earn credit.
HINT HINT: students who wish to earn an A will have connections that are 5 to 6 sentences long.

Rubric: TOTAL: /50
Very detailed with very few, if any, errors. All terms, quotes and themes are highlighted and each term is on a separate page. All explanations connect to a specific theme and the explanations
A + 50/50 points
A 48/50
A-45 /50 frequently are over the minimum length of 3 sentences in order to clearly connect the device to a specific and correct theme that is not awkward. The connection must sound fluent. Contains all 15 complete examples. The quotes must be a solid examples of the devices. The themes are all correct. There are 3 or less spelling/grammar errors and the notebook is very meticulous and goes beyond simply being complete; it is thorough and precise and goes beyond the standard.
Incorrect themes cannot earn a student an “A.” Effort is not rewarded; notebook must be correct with its specific themes and its devices.
Notebook must be legible.
Overall notebook is good but not as thorough/detailed or as neat as the
“A “notebooks. 5 or fewer spelling/punctuation errors. The connections must be fluent, perhaps not as smooth as the “A” notebook. Contains all 15 complete examples. The examples of the devices must be solid and sound. Effort is not rewarded. Notebook must be done correctly with correct specific themes and clear connections. Vague theme statements cannot earn a student a “B”.
Notebook must be legible. The theme statements used are, overall, correct. Not as strong as the “A” notebook.
Notebook is adequate and not at all as thorough as the “B” notebooks; explanations are not as complete even if 3 sentences each; there are 15 complete examples. The quotes must be solid examples of the device. 7 or fewer mistakes in grammar, spelling, etc. Notebook is not as easy to read.
May have a perfunctory appearance; effort is not rewarded. Vague theme statements cannot earn a student a “C”. Notebooks that are difficult to read cannot earn an “A” or a “B”. May be wordy or awkwardly written. Notebook must be legible. Not all the theme statements used are correct.
Notebook is incompletely written but it has all 15 literary device examples.
Sounds more awkward than the “C” notebook. Not thorough enough to earn the “C” grade. The quotes chosen are not solid examples to be used. Other errors may or may not be calculated.
Examples must be correctly
B + 44/50
B 42/50
B- 40/50
C + 39/50
C 37/50
C- 35/50
