Creative Project Assignment
Bring to final exam or turn in before then to my office.
Graded, worth 10% of final grade

This assignment asks you to create something that is not a written argument on paper, but that nevertheless shows a thoughtful and original response to one or several works or authors you've read for this class.  Projects should aim to draw on a unique strength or interest of yours, whether from another academic field besides literature (e.g. history, psychology, sociology, communications), from the fine arts, from design and engineering. 

• What you will turn in must  include a 1-page written summary of why you chose the project, and what you aimed to show with it, and self-evaluation. 
  
• The form of the rest of the project will be up to you. The project may be in the form of creative writing (fiction, poem, play, comic strip); web page(s), power-point files, programs, animation(s), film, video, visual art, music, 3-D model, clothing design.
• The project is graded and is expected to show thought, time, and care comparable to other critical, argument-based assignments.
• If you wonder, "can I do x for this project? is it too wacky?" just ask me.
• Ask if you want to see some successful examples from prior classes
