05.21 - Hadestown (Senior Final Day 02)

We started today by finishing listening to Anaïs Mitchell’s folk opera Hadestown. Everyone then had the rest of the period to work on their essay response. See below for handouts.

Since this is a final, materials given out in class must be kept in class. Everyone is free to think about and ruminate on the material and prompts outside of class. In class, I made out-of-class copies of all materials available for people to take with them to review. I will include these below along with a YouTube play list of  Hadestown. Materials from outside the exam cannot be brought in for use on the test. All work must be done in the room (people needing more time can come in during study halls or after school).


Materials:
Hadestown - Assignment Description and Prompts
Hadestown - Essay Rubric
(Includes links to the original story and folk opera lyrics)

For more information on Hadestown, see Mitchell's discussion on the process of creating this folk opera on her site.

Homework:

If you have not done so already, finish reading Siddhartha and complete all reading logs.
Complete any missing assignments and revise assignments that scored below a 92.
