A Note About A Few Of The Many Different Assignments Included: There are three writing assignments in this unit, each with the purpose of informing, persuading, or expressing personal opinions. The detailed writing assignment sheets guide students through the assignments. The first assignment is to express personal opinions: students are given a choice between living in our world today or living in the Midwest in the 1840s and are asked to write a composition in which they explain which they would choose and why they would choose it. The second assignment is to persuade: students pretend to be any character in the book except Huck Finn. The assignment is to write a letter to Huck convincing him to live with the Widow Douglas and become civilized. They may use any arguments except the one Tom used in the book. The third assignment is to inform: students write a composition in which they tell about the nonfiction article they have read relating to Tom Sawyer. This assignment is in preparation for the oral presentation they will have to make on the same topic. The class activity is to plan and have a Tom Sawyer Day, an old-fashioned picnic with food and games. Uses: These materials are geared for whole class use but are very easily adaped for independent study work, lit circles or book groups, home school use, or tutoring.
