4. Connections Assessment Directions: Each one of you will need a sheet of notebook paper. On it, be sure to place your full heading. Title your paper as you see above. Each class will have a different list of five items selected from the connections list. Once all of these are posted, you will then find the connections between the characters in the following order: 1. Item ONE & Item TWO (paragraph 1) 2. Item TWO & Item THREE (paragraph 2) 3. Item THREE & Item FOUR (paragraph 3) 4. Item FOUR & Item FIVE (paragraph 4) 5. Item FIVE & Item ONE (paragraph 5) This will result in 5 short essay responses. You may only use ONE sheet of paper, so make your answers brief, to the point, and meaningful. Remember, I am looking for specifics from the book for evidence to show you actually read the book. Good Luck!
