*******ALL ARTWORK MUST BE OF YOUR OWN CREATION: NO IMAGES MAY BE TAKEN FROM THE INTERNET********

1.  Model/Map of Maycomb (up to 3 people)

           Construct a model or map of Maycomb.  Include the homes of the major characters, spots like the courthouse, and school. Label the buildings and places where major events occur.  Model/map must be creative and colorful.  Digital models are acceptable.  If you are creating a 2D map, it must be created using photos/drawings you have created, not using images found online.

2.  Maycomb Tribune Newspaper (1-2 people)

           Pretend you are Mr. Underwood and create an edition of the Maycomb Tribune that might have been published in Maycomb during the novel.  The paper should include two articles related to events from the novel, an editorial, a letter to the editor, church news, and an obituary.

3.  Character Scrapbooking (1-2 person)

           Prepare a scrapbook that one of the main characters might have kept.  You must have at least 5 items with explanations about those items and how it reveals their character. All artwork must be student-created, but you may use found objects (small items like tickets, buttons, etc).

4.  Character Poster (1-2 people)

           Create a character profile poster including the following elements: a picture, a physical description from the novel, a list of adjectives, an explanation of the function that character plays, a quotation about them and a quotation from them. Images must be drawn or from photos you have taken. If you wish to do this project with a partner, it will be a little different: choose a character with a good side, and a bad side.  Divide the poster in half to illustrate the positive and negative aspects of this character, include quotes, images and adjectives.

5.  Create a Cover (1 person)

           Redesign the cover for the book so that contemporary teenagers would be more interested in picking it up.  It must contain specific references to the book, show the title and author, and demonstrate creativity.  Images must be of your own creation, not taken from the web.

           Student will rewrite a major scene from the novel from the POV of a minor character, such as Miss Maudie, Calpurnia, Mr. Underwood, etc.  Include dialogue and description that sounds uniquely like the character.  Must be at least 2 pages typed and edited.

Perfect Sentence ~ Cyrus Worrell Core 3

                    

 Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand        

“Dignity is as essential to human life as water, food, and oxygen. The stubborn retention of it, even in the face of extreme physical hardship, can hold a man's soul in his body long past the point at which the body should have surrendered it.”


This sentence is the soul of this book. It shows what this book was meant for, and how this sentence can change from person to person. No one has the same opinion, but every one does have limits, for some people those limits can be stretched far beyond human, even into a sort of living hell. Your mind depends on self respect and the ability to do the same in others. As long as you have those things you're mind can hold you're soul for much longer. It shows the tremendous act of determination, and the will to survive.
