9.1 King Lear PRT Save a copy of this file and rename it so it’s YOUR NAME (not Copy of yourNameELA30-19.1) at the front of the file name. Name: For this personal response to text (PRT) assignment, you will write a 3-4 paragraph response (600-1400 words) using a personal or critical approach. Choose which best allows you to showcase your idea about one of the three topics below using evidence from three sources: King Lear, a song or poem of your choice, and your own personal knowledge/experiences/observations. Your response will be evaluated using the PRT rubric. Explore ideas and impressions prompted by King Lear AND a poem or song to ONE of the following topics/questions: 1. What role does self-respect play when an individual responds to injustice? 2. What is the significance of idealism and truth in an individual’s life? 3. What is the interplay between fear and foresight when individuals make life-altering choices? ? When considering which of the provided prompting texts to explore, select the text that is most relevant to your own ideas about the topic. ? Your composition will be assessed on the basis of your ability to relate the topic to your ideas and impressions formed by the reading of a text or texts and to your previous knowledge and/or experience. ? Compositions that do not demonstrate a connection to one or more of the texts provided AND your previous knowledge and/or experience, OR that do not address the topic presented in the assignment are assessed as Insufficient. A response assigned an Insufficient, for any reason, receives a score of zero in all scoring categories. There is no prescribed answer or approach to this Personal Response to Texts Assignment. As you read and reflect upon each text, ask yourself the following questions: ? What ideas, feelings, or impressions does the text communicate to me about the topic? ? What details in the text create and convey these ideas, feelings, or impressions? ? What have I experienced or learned that is relevant to my ideas, feelings, or impressions of the topic and/or the text? ? What ideas and support will allow me to compose the most effective response to the topic? ? How might these texts relate to one another, my ideas, and the topic? Provide a copy of the poem or song lyrics and its source information. Review the PRT Tutorial linked on the assignment page for more help. If you have chosen to write a formal personal response, then you need introductory and concluding paragraphs. If you've chosen a creative response, follow the conventions of the format you have chosen. Whatever format you choose, your personal knowledge and experience as it applies to the topic and text you're using for support must be evident in your response.
