A PDF fill has been attached for reading and an essay should be written from this reading.
Project and reflection = 4-5 pages / Double space / Times New Roman / Font Size 12
Project and reflection instructions:
-
Choose the character (historical, fictional, documentary) from our class texts that had the most impact on you (be it intellectually, emotionally, and/or creatively).
-
Write a short story of spin-off (2-3 pages) in the voice of this character: imagine how their life continued after the texts that we analyzed in class. [This means that you have to imagine or write a fictional account of the character, but based on the information that you learned from the class text. Make it clear to me that you read/watched the materials and understood them in order to make a creative product out of them. It’s generally a good idea to make concrete references to the original text to prove this point].
-
In a reflective essay (2 pages), think about how your creative piece is influenced by, integrates, and replies to some of the main concerns of the primary text. What have you learned from the creative process in regards to the original piece?
