THE KING STORY -- 3
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
For this assignment, you have some choice. For each of the stories you choose, complete the following:
1) Write a “First Response.” (Follow the guidelines in the PPT)
2) Choose TWO stories from the selections below and complete the Taxonomy of Thinking Skills assignment that follows. There is a sample assignment for you to explore.
Stories: By Thomas King
• Tidings of Comfort and Joy
• Not Enough Horses
• Fire and Rain
• Rendezvous
• Another Great Moment in Canadian Indian History
You must ask and answer 6 questions about each of the stories you chose. You will ask and answer one question that describes, one that compares, one that associates, one that analyzes, one that applies knowledge, and one that argues. At the end of this assignment, you will have six well written questions (for each story – total of 12), that are each answered thoughtfully using whatever insight you can offer. Research any concepts that you are unfamiliar with.
This is an example of what this assignment should look like. This sample assignment was completed by a grade 11 student. Her questions and answers are probably immature compared to what you will compose, but this is still a great example of a well-done assignment. Questions are deep and require more than a simple answer. Answers, while long-winded, are detailed and provide evidence from the story to support them rather than relying on emotion.
