Over
the past few weeks, we have read all of “Angels in America,” and our approach
to the play has largely centered theme.
Your final project will be a reflection of this focus. Your task is to choose a
theme from the text, find and cite seven instances of it in the text, and
choose seven images (one for each instance) to (metaphorically or symbolically) represent the way the theme
operates in the quote. You will have all of next week to work on it, and you
will also be able to work on it tomorrow if you are here. If you are going to be absent for any reason, it is your responsibility
to keep up with the assignment. The
final product is due midnight on Wednesday, March 28th. After
midnight on Wednesday, it will be considered late and will be worth reduced
credit.
Here
is the structure we will use to organize this project:
-You
will select a theme from the play to work with as soon as you can decide on
one.
-You
will have tomorrow and Monday to use the graphic organizer included with these
instructions to find seven places where the theme you select appears in the
text. You will be writing down the quote that demonstrates the theme and what
page it is on.
-You
will have Tuesday and Wednesday to use the Chromebooks in class to find images
that you feel represent (metaphorically
or symbolically) your theme in each of your seven passages. This means that
you should end with seven images. On each slide, you will use the presentation
notes function to write a two- to three-sentence analysis statement of why or how
your image relates to the aligned quote.
-You
will, on Wednesday or as you go along, put the images you find into a Google
Slides presentation that you will share with me. My email is nwhite5@u.rochester.edu . Specific
guidelines for what these slides include can be found in the rubric.
-On
Thursday, we will look at and talk about some of the images included in your
presentations.
