  1. Friday, November 6th • Let’s finish Soldier Boys! • Go to Chapter 16 • Character Questions • Project Assignment (due Friday, 11/13)

  2. Soldier Boys Characters • Write a paragraph in response to each question: • What are Dieter’s best qualities as a person? What are his worst qualities? Give examples from the story to show his best and worst qualities. • What are Spence’s best qualities as a person? What are his worst qualities? Give examples from the story to show his best and worst qualities.

  3. Soldier Boys Soundtrack Project • Goal: To use music and lyrics to analyze a work of literature for character motivation, mood, and theme. (ALCOS 8 #6) • Product: You will produce a “soundtrack” to Soldier Boys and include liner notes that explain and evaluate each song included.

  4. Requirements: Include the following songs • A “theme” for Dieter. This song can be instrumental or have lyrics. Explain how the song reveals the personality of Dieter. Use details from the story to discuss Dieter’s personality. • A “theme” for Spence. Same as Dieter. Explain. • Choose a specific scene/chapter and choose the “mood music” to accompany that scene. This song can be instrumental or have lyrics. Explain how the sound of the music fits the mood of the scene. • Choose a theme song for the movie. This song must have lyrics. Print out and attach the lyrics. Explain how the music AND the lyrics fit with the main ideas of the story.

  5. Process: • Choose music that truly fits. You may be able to use a song that you like, but don’t try to force a favorite song to fit one of the categories if it doesn’t. Search for music that really fits. amazon.com, iTunes and Pandora.com might be good places to start. Be original and creative in your choices. • Focus on writing a good explanation for why you chose each of the songs. Make sure you talk about specific events in the story. If the song has lyrics, make sure you discuss how they fit with the character/mood/theme of the story. • Explain each song in a hefty paragraph. • On your liner notes, include the title and artist of the song as a heading, with the explanation paragraph beneath it. Include your name as the header. • If possible, burn your playlist to a CD, label it with your name, and turn it in with your liner notes.

  6. Grading: You will be graded on the following scale • Any project not meeting the standards above will be returned to be redone and turned in again. Do it right the first time.
