CMF

As your students read MSND, have them use this project to show their understanding of one or more character. This is an art project, based in analytical reading, for Shakespeare's play. The rubric is also included.

This assessment combines art and analysis for reading of The Odyssey. Students create a mural based on all of the books within the epic poem. Each student may use realistic or abstract art to create their part of the mural. Analyses are written for each book as well; these accompany the rendering. The final product is a large-scale class mural of the entire poem.

For this creative project, students will study the symbolism of Desdemona's handkerchief in Shakespeare's Othello. They will select quotes of significance and design a piece of fabric that represents one of the tones, moods, emotions, etc. that this symbol evokes for Othello or Desdemona (e.g. greed, perdition, fear, lust, etc.)

Students build upon their understanding of the graphic novel as a genre via this assignment. Each student creates a written journal entry for the main character and a potential graphic scene for the start to his/her personal vision of MAUS II. This is meant to be done at the conclusion of MAUS I, and it should be before anyone has read MAUS II. It is both creative and analytical, for students predict.
