For this assignment, you'll practice close reading skills to find textual evidence that develops your understanding of a theme within Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe or one of the other novels we've read for this unit (You can use this activity to help you prepare for the YA Analysis paper). Choose a theme (see possible themes in this presentation) and find 3 quotations that help you further your understanding of the theme within the novel. Then, analyze/interpret the passage - what statement do you think the passage is making about the theme? (This is also practice for the YA novel analysis assignment).
