Choice Novels Work

Required for all:
  1. Character analysis -- Pick a character, pick 3 scenes (roughly from the beginning, middle, and end), and show how the character changes. Use the good old LEAF format (3 paragraphs).
  2. Conflict/resolution analysis -- Identify a major conflict. How is it resolved? Is it appropriate for the characters/story? Is it fulfilling (for you)? Discuss (1/2 - 1 "page").
  3. Style analysis -- describe the style of the writing. Use specific examples to support your points (at least 3 passages).
Creative Options (or not):
  1. Dramatize 4-8 scenes from your book (possibly with some partners) either in person or on video.
  2. Script 4-8 scenes your book -- put the story into a NEW CONTEXT.
  3. Story-board 4-8 scenes from book. If you were adapting the novella to film, how would you "shoot" the scenes -- either use colonial context OR put the story in a new context.
  4. Write the good old critical essay.
Don't forget your Q2 goals!
