It is 8th period and I am fried. I am getting too old to do the stay up until 3:00 thing on a school night. :-)
CW: Prompt #11: Take any fairy tale or children's story and retell it from a perspective that will alter our understanding of the piece. The narrative should be a more mature and in all likelihood darker one than is true of the original, though you should tell the same story.
E3H: Comment on boards (ongoing). New: create a graphic depiction of Joyce's use of Stream of Consciousness (SC) in the rugby scene. Be as specific as you can about the various elements (memories) that we see in this scene, but focus on the way they move into and out of each other. Creativity counts!
E2CP: You should have read all of the book by now. Your project for this book will involve getting together with 1-3 other classmates, scripting and performing a scene based on a segment of the novel. Select a scene from among the following options and email your selection to me. (If you have a really great idea connected to a scene I do not list below, ask; you never know.) After approval, try to get together with classmates over the weekend to begin scripting and planning your scene.
Scenes may (and probably should, in some cases) include a "Mark Twain" character who is there both to serve as a narrator and to highlight the satirical elements. Costume as you'd like--within reason--and use all needed props.
This project may be done live or on video.
Scene selections:
- Sherburn-Boggs affair
- Sarah Mary Crawford scene
- Grangerford-Shepherdson feud
- The Royal Nonesuch
- Huck and Jim scenes highlighting their developing friendship
- The Wilkes Plantation
