Writing Assignment

*We are moving on to LTW Lesson 4 this week

·      Formulate a new issue from Dr. Faustus

·      Complete the Definition II worksheet in your workbook on pgs. 43-44.  Choose an abstract noun for this worksheet.  In other words choose a term (noun) that is either the name of an activity (such as homework) or the name of an idea (such as friendship).  If your issue doesn’t contain a noun that is either the name of an activity or an idea, choose a related noun to define.

Ex. Issue=Whether Faust should have conjured Mephistophiles

The terms in this issue are: Faust, conjured, & Mephistophiles

Faust = concrete proper noun

Conjured = verb

Mepistophiles = concrete proper noun

None of these terms name an activity or idea.  BUT, you can change the verb to a word that names an activity.  Once it’s a name, it is a noun.

The verb “conjured” can be changed to  = conjuring.  Conjuring is a NOUN that names an activity. 

Other abstract nouns that are “related” to this issue are witchcraft, sorcery, divination, black magic, necromancy and rebellion.  Any of those terms would be appropriate for your definition 2 worksheet.

·      Begin a new ANI chart with your Faustus issue.  Come to class with at least 20 items in each column (ALL 3 COLUMNS).  Be sure to put some information from your Definition worksheet on the ANI chart.  EVERYTHING on the worksheet at least qualifies as interesting information.

*Check your numbers after the weekend to see where you stand with completed work vs. incomplete work.
