Final Assessment for Virginia Woolf’s
“A Room of One’s Own”
You have a choice
of three different topics that have been differentiated in terms of complexity
and length. For all three, you will need to use your completed graphic organizer for
textual evidence. As well, make use of your annotations. All essays are due at
the end of class on Thursday. Work on
this at home and study halls for added time. There will be no extensions. Begin
with a MLA heading.
Essay choice 1: the challenge
How are
the central ideas of patriarchy and chastity developed through the characters
of Ophelia in Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Judith in Woolf’s essay “A Room
of One’s Own?”
Organize your ideas in outline form before you
begin to write. Please turn this in with your essay.
Details: minimum 5 paragraphs / minimum 500
words; include an introduction with a hook sentence and clearly stated thesis.
Body paragraphs: focus on literary
elements: character, plot, themes, tone and rhetorical devices; (rhetorical questioning,
parallelism, irony). Weave in textual evidence when possible. Make sure each
paragraph has a clear main idea, proof and an analysis statement. Why is what
you have just written significant? Consider family and societal expectations.
Conclude with an original concept, not
a repetition of your introduction. What is the larger significance as
related to your original thesis statement? Can you make a societal, historical or
cultural connection?
Essay 2:
How did Woolf’s fictional Judith fare under
patriarchy, which is a system of society or government in which men hold the
power and women are largely excluded from it?
Begin by using your graphic organizer to complete the evidence
collection tool. This will allow you to collect the textual evidence for
each of your paragraphs. This must be
turned in with your essay.
Details: minimum 5 paragraphs / 450 words; include
an introduction with a hook sentence and clearly stated thesis that
incorporates three of the four topics you have researched: (voice, family,
chastity, mental health)
Body Paragraphs: for organizational
purposes, focus only on one topic per body paragraph. Make sure you have a
clear thesis statement, proof, which may be text woven in your sentences, and
an analysis statement. The analysis statement
must give a reason (how or why) what you just wrote is significant.
Conclude with an original concept,
not a repetition of your introduction. What is the larger significance as
related to your original thesis statement?
Can you make a societal, historical or cultural connection?
Essay 3:
Compare (emphasize the similarities)
and contrast (emphasize the differences) between Shakespeare’s life and that of
the fictional Judith as described in her essay “A Room of One’s Own.”
Begin by using the graphic organizer
on Shakespeare’s & Judith’s lives. Select 4 of the 5 areas and find textual
examples. This must be turned in with your essay.
Details: minimum 400 words / 5 paragraphs;
include an introduction with a hook sentence and clearly stated thesis that
incorporates four of the five topics you have researched: work, family,
relationships, entertainment and education.
Body Paragraphs: You will need to combine a
couple of the topics into your body paragraphs.
Make sure you have a clear thesis statement, proof, which may be text
woven in your sentences, and an analysis statement. The analysis statement must give a reason (how
or why) what you just wrote is significant.
Conclude with an original concept, not a
repetition of your introduction. What is the larger significance as related to
your original thesis statement? Can you
make a societal, historical or cultural connection?
