Your final literary term for this unit is motivation (the reason why characters act or behave the way that they do. When you analyze motivation, you must take in account the historical/social context of the work would influence character behavior. You are looking for the underlying thoughts, feelings, and emotions that lead to a character's behavior.
Homework: Complete any missing homework assignments and/or extra credit. The final day you have to turn these in is test day. After test day, you will receive a zero. There are no exceptions to this rule.
You should also begin doing some pre-research on your research paper topic. Think of an era prior to 1960 that appeals to you and something of that time period that interests you and start forming your topic.
World War II would be way too broad, but a specific battle of the war or even a new weapon that was introduced during the war would work. If you're interested in movies, maybe you could research the movies/industry during the 1940s. If you love fashion, you could research clothing, hair, and make-up trends of the era and how they've influenced styles today. This is a historical research paper, but you can definitely cater to your own interests when writing/researching. Music, movies, sports, weapons, politics, fashion, television, literature, cars....... the possibilities are endless.
