SESSION TWO - PART
A
Directions: Read
the passages on the following pages (a poem and a
short
story). 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
coexistence of humans
and computers as revealed in the passages. In your essay,
use ideas
from both passages to establish a controlling idea about the
coexistence of humans and computers. 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
coexistence of humans and computers
• 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 controlling idea
• Organize your ideas in a logical and coherent manner
• Use language that communicates ideas effectively
• Follow the conventions of standard written English
