Question #1 on the Open Book Test is an essay question worth 16 points. Essay responses require a three paragraph response with an introduction, body, and conclusion. Use this as your guide:

Introduction - Your introduction should restate the question, include the title and author of the story you have chosen to discuss, and include a clear theme statement for that story. (This should be the A in the ACES strategy.)

Body - The body paragraph should include your complete answer, support, evidence, and explanation. How do you know this is the theme? How do the character’s actions, conflict, resolution, etc. help to develop the theme. Make sure to answer all questions asked within the prompt and include specific textual support. (The body paragraph should include the C and E of the ACES strategy.)

Conclusion - Include final thoughts, reflection, and restate the theme. (This should be the S in the ACES strategy.)

Question #2 asks you about your IRS. There are several questions about your IRS to answer. One of the questions is "What impact did your book has have on you as a reader?" This means how has it affected you? Did it make you think about anything differently or make you realize anything important?

This is an interesting assignment.

We can't begin to read it until you use appropriate punctuation and capitalization. Have you heard about sentences?
