A Note About A Few Of The Many Different Assignments There is a group theme project in this unit. Students will examine cultural mythologies to explore the connection between blurred truth, storytelling, and the deep human need to believe in stories. Students will create a PowerPoint presentation and report their findings to the class. There are three writing assignments in this unit, each with the purpose of informing, persuading, or expressing personal opinions. The first assignment gives students an opportunity to explain how they would react in circumstances such as the narrator would they evade the draft or heed its call? The second writing assignment asks students to respond to the final lines of the novel and personally answer a question it do stories have the power to save a life? Finally, students will use secondary sources and write using facts gleaned from them, comparing Tim O Brien s novel with a non-fiction essay about his first trip to Vietnam. Students will point out the primary differences between these two accounts. These materials are geared for whole class use but are very easily adaped for independent study work, lit circles or book groups, home school use, or tutoring. If you have never taught this book before, this manual will give you a great foundation of materials on a variety of levels. If you have taught this book before, you might like to know that veteran teachers have told us they have found our LitPlan Teacher Pack manuals to be different from many other materials they have seen--and very helpful.
