Assignment:  Write an essay that proves one theme that at least two of the texts read  about King Arthur will support.

Potential Themes:

  • Mrs. Gillmore's Chosen Theme - A rarity!  Right there in the text!
    • "No one can hide his guilt without doing great harm to himself."



Outline Draft:
  • Paragraph 1 - Gawain
  • Paragraph 2 - Gwenivere and Lancelot

Plan to Include:
  • Alliteration - a characteristic of all the pieces read thus far in this unit.
  • One simile or one metaphor that creates a comparison for one the above listed characters.
  • Multiple participial phrases - as openers and subject verb splits...a list of participials would be grand!
  • Introductory subordinate clauses.
  • Transitional phrases = aka participial phrases and subordinate clauses
  • Citation:  parenthetical and a Works Cited page
    • Must have these, or teacher will not even begin to grade your paper!
