Literature and the Human Condition with Mr. Leon

[close] While some reading responses will require creative and/or more personalized/internalized approaches to the literature, most require specific analysis of devices/elements. Here, students are expected to master the concept of literary analysis. These guided responses should be critical and/or analytical in nature…NOT SUMMARY.

Reading responses are assessed based upon the following:

• Engagement with the reading demonstrating analytical thought
• Understanding and control of the reading
• Complexity of response
• Use of quotations
• Reference to other student responses
• Completeness
• Organization

So, let's be the respectful, thoughtful, creative, open-minded, tolerant Beacon citizens that we are!
