Sharpe+UPLAN+Assessment

Investigators still surround the scene…

For the final project of this unit, you will act as journalists. In pairs, you will choose one crime or event that occurred in any of the texts studied (“Because I could not stop for death,” “The Raven,” “The Black Cat,” “A Rose for Emily,” or //The Strange Case or Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde//). You will then create a news story—you have three media options to choose from —that fully covers the event. **5 ** || **Very Good ** **4 ** || **Fair ** **3 ** || **Needs Improvement ** **2 ** || __Live coverage __: 5-6 minutes __TV Cast __: 5-6 minutes || __Newspaper __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">: 2 full pages __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">Live coverage __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">: 5 minutes __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">TV Cast __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">: 5 minutes || __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">Newspaper __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">: 1-2 pages __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">Live coverage __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">: 4-5 minutes __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">TV Cast __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">: 4-5 minutes || __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">Newspaper __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">: <1 page __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">Live coverage __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">: <4 minutes __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">TV Cast __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">: <4 minutes || __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">Account __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">: Aligns perfectly with the text __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">Society’s Reaction __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">: Aligns perfectly with the text <span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">__Speculations__: 2 present and are appropriate and inventive || __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">Background __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">: 1 error in textual fact __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">Account __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">: 1 error in textual fact __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">Society’s Reaction __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">: 1 error in textual fact <span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">__Speculations__: 2 present and are appropriate || __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">Background __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">: 2 errors in textual fact __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">Account __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">: 2 errors in textual fact __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">Society’s Reaction __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">: 2 errors in textual fact <span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">__Speculations__: 1 present, but inappropriate || __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">Background __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">: 3+ errors in textual fact __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">Account __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">: 3+ errors in textual fact __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">Society’s Reaction __<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">: 3+ errors in textual fact
