Option 2: Is Odysseus a true hero? Justify your argument with evidence from the text and a counterargument.

Essential Question: How do various characters and allegiances (and relationships?) advance the plot? (How does the influence of others change or alter our own decisions/ paths? How do relationships influence a person’s actions?)
 
 
Students will be able to:
-Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
 
-Determine a theme or central idea of a text and analyze in detail its development over the course of the text, including how it emerges and is shaped and refined by specific details; provide an objective summary of the text.
 
-Analyze how complex characters (e.g., those with multiple or conflicting motivations) develop over the course of a text, interact with other characters, and advance the plot or develop the theme.
 
-Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in the text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the cumulative impact of specific word choices on meaning and tone
 
-Analyze how an author's choices concerning how to structure a text, order events within it (e.g., parallel plots), and manipulate time (e.g., pacing, flashbacks) create such effects as mystery, tension, or surprise.
 
-Analyze a particular point of view or cultural experience reflected in a work of literature from outside the United States, drawing on a wide reading of world literature.
 
-Analyze how an author draws on and transforms source material in a specific work.
 
-Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence.
 
-Develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach, focusing on addressing what is most significant for a specific purpose and audience.
 
-Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question) or solve a problem; narrow or broaden the inquiry when appropriate; synthesize multiple sources on the subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.
 
-Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.

In Unit 6, you have completed a thorough study of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.  You have analyzed the characters and their tragic flaws as well as the sequence of events leading to Romeo and Juliet’s demise.  Based on your reading of this Shakespearean tragedy, who do you believe is responsible for the death of these “star-crossed lovers?”
 
Write an essay justifying who you consider most responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet.  You may argue that one or more characters are at fault, but you must support your justification with evidence from the play and at least one counter argument.
