Characters

//**Journal for Ecomp355**- I ran out of time to create an example of an assignment for this page. I think Ideally I would have liked to create an imovie portraying the chracter of Zlata. I would perform it in front of a camera and than post it to the page. I would have also like to create a imovie that portrayed the role that 'nature' played in the novel. I would have posted a variety of outdoor scenes both video taped and still images in a coherent sequence to achieve the effect. The below example of a movie was not created for the novel Zlata's Diary but one I made for a visual art class. The movie is an example of how the outdoors can be portrayed in a video so I thought I would post it to the page as an example. That is if I could fiugure out why my movie won't post anywhere. I should have known if the movie wouldn't post on my wordpress blog it wouldn't work here. I try until I get it though it just won`t be in time for the last day of class. //

Purpose: This is a page where students can create character profiles in unique and creative ways. They will post the name of the book and than their chracter profiles to this page. The teacher can update the page accordingly as the novel study changes.

Assignment: Students will post at least five chracter profiles to this page per novel. Their chracter profiles must include onemain chracter. However, the chracters they choose do not have to be human. They could choose to recognize in animate objects or concepts like nature or politics as a significant chracter in the novel. Students must describe the chracter both physical and personality traits. They must describe the chracters relevance to the text and the impact that chracter has on the main chracter. Students can choose to describe the chracters they choose depict their chracters in a variety of ways but must be approved by the teacher before hand. Students may choose to create their character profiles through a variety of ways: Art work; interviews, skits, poems, letters, journal entries, etcetera. These can be presented on this page through podcasts, videos, audio, images, scanned work either visual or written.


 * __The character of WINTER by L. Munchinsky June 16th 2009__:** The following video link is suppose to my video example of how nature can be portrayed as a character BUT it is not displaying itself so it may be a while until I am more computer savey and am able to figure out what I am doing wrong. Until than I hope you can get the idea for what this page could do for students and a novel study.
