Write a paper on "A Gentle Way to Die" by Katie Letcher Lyle.

Part 1: (General Midterm Rules)

• Write only one sentence to answer each question unless otherwise stated. Use your own words; do not copy phrases from the article.

• Your grade will be based on both grammar and the quality and detail of your answer. Correct sentence structure is very important: write within your ability.

• You must include the italicized phrase in your answer; it may be anywhere in the sentence.

• Type each question and then your answer.

1. Write a one-sentence summary of Henry's life Henry, whose

7. Think about Lyle's comparison in the first two paragraphs. Then give your opinion and explain; maximum three sentences. Should Fritchie have been provided with euthanasia (the "Gentle Way to Die" that Lyle describes)? (un)like

Part 2: Write a summary of the article in paragraph form, four to six numbered sentences long . Use your own words and start with a main idea sentence as we have practiced. Follow Blue Sheet rules. On your midterm, your main idea sentence will receive its own grade as well as being considered part of the summary. Practice writing strong main idea sentences.

Part 3: In paragraph form, support or oppose Lyle's suggestion for Henry. Minimum eight numbered sentences. (This is instead of a free response.)

Part 4: Optional for your Education Only: Write sentences about "Gentle Way to Die" or "If the dog" using any connector that is giving you trouble. I also encourage making up questions to elicit your own answers.
