SESSION TWO
Part A
Directions: Read the passages on the following pages (an
article and an
essay). Write the number of the answer to each multiple-choice
question
on your answer sheet. Then write the essay in your essay booklet
as
described in Your Task. You may use the margins to take notes as
you
read and scrap paper to plan your response.
Your Task:
After you have read the passages and answered the
multiple-choice
questions, write a unified essay about the power of nature as
revealed in
the passages. In your essay, use ideas from both passages to
establish a
controlling idea about the power of nature. Using evidence
from each
passage, develop your controlling idea and show how the author
uses
specific literary elements or techniques to convey that idea.
Guidelines:
- Be sure to use ideas from both passages to establish a
controlling idea
about the power of nature
- Use specific and relevant evidence from each passage to
develop
your controlling idea
- Show how each author uses specific literary elements (for
example:
theme, characterization, structure, point of view) or
techniques (for
example: symbolism, irony, figurative language) to convey the
contro-
lling idea
- Organize your ideas in a logical and coherent manner
- Use language that communicates ideas effectively
- Follow the conventions of standard written English
