Seniors ~ Macbeth Project (Redux)

This is just a reminder that your 250-word papers are due with the projects. This paper is required for all of those students who either completed an art project or participated in a group video.

Remember: I'm not grading you on how great an artist you are, or how well you can act. I'm grading on your participation and effort, as well as your attention to detail and focus on Macbeth. The paper is your opportunity to make your case for receiving full marks on the project.

As discussed in class, the paper should include the following:
  • If in a video, tell me what you did and why; what was your process in completing the project? Again, please be specific in detailing your participation, as this is the only way for you to defend your work, other than what I see on the video.
  • If you created a piece of artwork, then tell me why you decided to choose your subject and medium. What guided your vision? What lead to the artistic (and practical) choices you made? Defend your work of art. Why does it deserve a good grade?
The paper must be typed and formatted according to MLA.

As always, please use complete sentences and cite frequently from the text.

Monday Work

Sophomores We are going to discuss Ch11-16 in class Monday and finish answering the study questions for Tuesday. Seniors The first thing we will do on Monday is discuss your updated plans for school and career. A one page "addendum" to your career paper is due on Tuesday . Include whether or not you plan to pursue the career discussed in your research paper and why or why not. Also include plans for career post-graduation and any career-related plans for this summer. This paper can be informal in tone but should follow the conventions of college-level writing. Share with me via email as "lastname-addendum." We will also discuss the letter you will all write to your future selves (five years from now). Every year, the senior class writes a set of letters, and every year I mail a set from five years ago.This letter should include anything you'd like to remember about your senior year, or your goals and values right now, or your tastes and opinions. I will m...
