English III--Breaking Free

The section that we are reading right now is entitled "Breaking Free." The works all deal with this theme--breaking free from Britain, breaking free from slavery, etc. You will create a booklet to show how the characters represent the theme of the unit.

  • Choose several character presented in the selections. You can even choose ones that we don't cover in class. Create a ten-page booklet that shows how the characters represent the theme of breaking free.
  • Use a series of hand-drawn illustrations, collages, phots, or computer graphics to depict particular moments of change. You don't have to search for a picture of Thomas Jefferson--you may find a picture of someone who was recently fighting for freedom and you feel that this portrays what Jefferson was arguing for.
  • Write a brief paragraph to help explain each visual. How does your picture go with what we read?

Booklets are due September 16 (the same day as your stems test)! E-mail me or post comments with any questions you have.

Shaina--you will not be presenting to the class. Your project should be in booklet form. If you'd like to do a poster collage to accompany your booklet, that will be fine, but you must turn in the booklet.

Trice--Do your final copy in pen. Anything that you turn in to a professor or to a boss should be written in pen. It is more professional.

Liza---feel free to get your pics off the internet. Let me know if you need anything else.

Bill--See some of the other posts on the project to try to get your questions answered. If you still have issues, then you need to see me BEFORE the project is due.
