Just a quick reminder that your Media Assignments on the novel are due Monday. You can do just about anything so there's NO EXCUSE for not having it ready. I have posted a copy of the assignment below. Looking forward to seeing them.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time:
Media Presentation
As we reach the end of the novel. It’s important we take some time to reflect on the novel in a variety of ways. The review that you are writing is one way (this is to come). Another is through a media presentation.
Since this book represents the coming together of a variety of styles (mystery, children’s story, comedy, family drama, and instructional book) it is only fitting that this is reflected in the kind of media presentation you create.
Here are a few suggestions about what you could do:
1. A dramatic recreation (either on video or live in class) of a scene from the novel
2. The cover design for an alternate book jacket
3. An artistic rendering of a particularly striking scene
4. An interpretive dance (I’d love to see another one)
5. A website-study guide for the novel
6. Staple 40 dollars to a blank sheet of paper and give it to Mr. Patterson (that's a joke)
7. A sculpture of your favourite character
8. Write and perform a song inspired by this story
And so on and so on. Of course, you are free to express yourself in some way this is not on this list (pending approval from Mr. Patterson).
Things to do for this...
A. Complete the proposal sheet by next class and give it to Mr. Patterson
B. Get to work on your presentation
C. To be presented: Tuesday, February 2nd (if you want it on the next report) or Monday, February 8th
Get this done on time. I want to move on to other things.
