Literary Head Project
Berthiaume
Directions: Fill in the cranial space below (or a larger drawing of a similar space) with symbols and images representing the thoughts, ideas, visions, motivations, and actions of a main character/author from this unit. Think about multiple and /or changing meanings of different symbols. You may use your own drawings, magazine pictures, downloads, etc. Use a minimum of five images and be sure to number them.
For each image:
- Include an important quote from the novel, play, or essay that demonstrates your understanding of the author and his or her characters, ideas, etc.
- Using your quote and image as a starting point, write a short explanation (one paragraph will do) that explains the significance of the image and the quote combination. These explanations are essential and account for at least half of the project grade.
- In addition to possibly using these explanations and quotes ON your drawing/poster, you must upload the quotes with explanation to Turnitin.com
