Choose to complete ONE of the following projects as your final creative extension for this unit.  

The project is due on ____MAY 20th________________________________________.  

Options:

  1. Multimedia Presentation: Create a video trailer for a movie that would be made of the book that highlights the argument made in the novel.  Include a script for your trailer. Your final project must be at least 2-3 minutes in length.  

  1. Rewrite the last chapter: Rewrite the last chapter of the novel. Make sure the final chapter you write ends the argument made by the novel well. Tie up any loose ends to make sure you have fully developed the argument made in the novel.  Must be at least two pages typed, double-spaced, in length. 

  1. Create a sculpture of one of the symbols AND a write why that symbol supports the argument in the novel. Mrs. Snyder will provide some clay for you to use in order to create it. In addition to creating your sculpture you will need to write at least a one-page paper that explains why that symbol supports the argument in the novel. Be sure to state what the argument is and make sure to fully explain why the symbol supports that. One page, double-spaced. Plan extra time for this project if you want your sculpture back because it will need to be fired!

  1. Create a book cover that depicts the argument made in the novel. Draw up a new book cover that depicts the argument made in the novel. With your book cover, include a one-page explanation of your book cover. In your explanation be sure to state what the argument is and why your book cover supports it. One page, double-spaced.

  1. Create a soundtrack to the novel that supports the argument. Develop a soundtrack with at least 10 songs that supports the main argument made in the novel. Include a track list and descriptions for why you choose the songs a separate sheet. You may actually burn your soundtrack to a CD and turn it in, or develop your soundtrack on an online playlist by using Youtube, Spotify, or 8tracks. (If you choose to develop your soundtrack using an online playlist, you must talk to me.)

GOOD LUCK!
