Rubric for //Night// Motif Essay: --expectations --thesis development (pg. 2) --topic sentence creation (pg. 2)

Introduction components:

1) Hook--grab your reader's attention, but avoid cliche ideas. Banish the "Have you ever wondered what it was like to..." format. 2) Establish context with a 1-2 sentences of context--establish the framework for your motif/theme 3) Reference the author by his/her full name, name the title (novel=italics), and name the type of work (here a memoir) 4) Leave me with your thesis so I know where you'll go. Here you're making the clear connection between your motif and the effect it has on the reader AKA the theme it reveals. Consider the progression of your motif. AKA how does Wiesel's use of references to eyes alter over the course of the text and what does this reveal?

HW: Come to class with your introduction and at least your first topic sentence completed.
