Assessments for The Bell Jar

4 Assessment options for Sylvia Plath's novel, "The Bell Jar". Since this novel is deeply emotional and deeply personal, students choose from four different options to analyze the emotions Esther feels as the novel evolves and how they culminate into her climactic decision and subsequent recovery. Options are creative, visual, or textual but all focus on close reading and analysis of this novel. Students have had fun choosing and it has been a pleasure grading the varied applications of this assessment.
