© 2003 Prentice Hall swa2 QUESTIONS FOR AN INTERPRETATION PAPER What is the theme of the work? How are the parts of the work related to the theme? If patterns exist in various elements of the work, what do they mean? What message does the author covey through the setting, characters, narrator, etc? What symbols are used and what do they mean? Why is the ending what it is?

© 2003 Prentice Hall swa3 STRATEGIES FOR TAKING ESSAY TESTS Do NOT start writing immediately. If the test has more than one question, read them all at the start. You will know what to expect and how to budget your time. If you have a choice, select questions about which you know the most and can work with the best. Reread each question, then underline the cue and key words to determine exactly what the question asks for. Use the writing process as much as possible within the time constraints. For a one-hour test, take 10 minutes to jot down preliminary ideas before you write and save at least 10 minutes at the end to revise and edit. Organize and develop your answer to provide what the questions cue and key words ask for.

© 2003 Prentice Hall swa12 SPRINGBOARD FOR WRITING Thomas Hart Benton ( ) was one of many American artists to survive the Great Depression with support from various federal programs such as the Federal Art Project of the Works Project Administration (WPA: ), which provided work for thousands of artists. Fiercely patriotic, Benton rejected urban life, international politics and modernism in painting and celebrated the raw energy and limitless potential of the American people in his work.

© 2003 Prentice Hall swa13 YOUR MISSION You are the president of a public relations firm and you have been approached by an officer ( N. Shuvvel) in the US Navy. He wants to create a public relations campaign to improve the image of the Navy and increase enlistment. He asks if you can incorporate this scene from Benton’s mural into your campaign.

© 2003 Prentice Hall swa14 PLANNING AND SHAPING Examine the scene carefully. List as may details from the picture as you can. What do you notice about colors, lines, the relationships among the objects portrayed? What do these details suggest about the American Navy? State this impression in a single sentence.

© 2003 Prentice Hall swa15 DRAFTING Draft a letter to Mr. Shuvvel responding to his suggestion. Can you use the painting? Do you like his idea? Be sure to include an analysis of Benton’s painting to support your claims. If you like the idea you might go on briefly to suggest how this painting might fit into a larger campaign. If you don’t like it, explain why (tactfully) and suggest alternatives.

© 2003 Prentice Hall swa16 REVISING Will your letter meet Mr. Shuvvel’s needs? Have you stated what the letter is about in the first paragraph? What guided your decisions about the sequence of the remainder of the letter? Is your style clear, direct and concise? Can you cut any words without losing important detail? Have you used standard business letter format?

© 2003 Prentice Hall swa17 EDITING Review your letter for accuracy and for correctness of sentence structure, grammar, spelling and punctuation. Make any necessary changes.
