3.7 Class Created Lecture Notes for
The Handmaid’s Tale pp. 76-148
To-Do Date: Mar 25 at 11:59pm
For our assigned reading of The Handmaid’s Tale, I’ve divided the book into fourths.
In the last part we processed the first seventy-five pages. For this second part in the
module, we will process pages 76-148 by identifying important quotes that
exemplify major themes in the text. Below, I have created sections for the major
themes.
For this Assignment
To co-create the lecture notes for this section of the text, we will be adding to this
page. To edit the page, click “edit” at top right. Here’s what I would like you to add to
this page.
Choose two substantial quotes (three-four sentences) that exemplify two
separate themes below. (You’ll notice that identity is missing, and it’s purposeful,
don’t worry). Please choose one quote from pp. 76-105 and another from pp.
106-148 so that we cover a lot of ground in assigned reading.
Next, present your quote below and make sure to provide a citation for your
quote so that we all know where it’s coming from.
Finally, underneath your quote, provide a six to eight sentence analysis, which
explains how your quote exemplifies your chosen theme.

pp. 76-148
Due Mar 25 by 11:59pm Points 15 Submitting an external tool
On the previous page, you were asked to identify two separate quotes that
exemplify themes we’re dealing with in The Handmaid’s Tale. For your reading
response journal, we are going to build on the work of the entire class on the
previous page. (Yes, this does mean that the early birds may need to hold off a bit
until other folks add to the lecture notes.)
For this Assignment
Compose a reading response journal in which you choose someone else’s
quote from the Class Created Lecture Notes
(https://canvas.pasadena.edu/courses/1131891/pages/2-dot-10-class-created-lecture-
notes-for-blindness-pp-114-216) and tie that quote to the overarching theme of
identity that we have been working with for the entire semester. In order to do

this well, you’ll need to select the right quote for the purposes of this assignment. I
encourage you to reread sections of the text in which your classmates have
identified significant quotes that work with the theme of identity.
As you compose your reading response journal, present an analysis of the quote
that explains how the chosen quote works with both themes. As with previous
assignments, I would like you all to think about how themes work together within a
text.
In a final portion of your reading response journal discuss what you believe the
larger message of Atwood’s work to be. Why is it that Atwood has written this text,
and what is it she’s trying to say/teach/illuminate about our world for us?
Expectations:
Journals should be thesis driven with supporting examples and evidence
Journals should be written in MLA format using Times New Roman 12pt font
Since you are providing quotes and close visual analysis, a separate works
cited page is expected.
