LITERARY+CONNECTION

=LITERARY CONNECTION=

At this point, you have finished researching and writing about your subject. It is time to make some connections between your subject and a piece of literature that reflects your thoughts about Israel, being Israeli, or even just being a good citizen in this world.

This may be a short story, an excerpt from a novel, a published essay, a poem or a song. It does not have to deal directly with Israel. It could simply illustrate a value, or lifestyle that you consider important to you as an Israeli.

Once you have chosen the piece, please follow the steps listed below to write a 250 word (approx) essay.

1. Summarize the piece. 2. Explain in your own words what you feel the author's main point is. 3. Explain why you chose to include this piece of literature in your **i-faces** project. You may want to discuss some of the following points:
 * What does this piece show about Israel's culture?
 * What does this piece show about the fun or beauty of being Israeli?
 * How does this compare to the image you would like to portray of Israel?
 * What is the best element of this piece?
 * What could be improved or added to this piece to make it better?

4. Check for Introduction, body, conclusion, mechanics, paragraphs 5. Add the appropriate bibliographic information to your Bibliography
