This week you will be assigned a character from Monster. Please check your email to know which character you have been assigned. This character is to be kept a secret from the other members of your group. Your job is to consider the conceptual identity of the character you have been assigned. Remember a conceptual identity consists roughly of TWO parts. The first part is the "image" or "idea" that you have of yourself and the world around you, the second part is formed by the "images" or "ideas" that others have of you
With this in mind you are invited to create a "visual image" of the conceptual identity of the character you have been assigned. This visual image can be a video, audio, picture (s) or a combination of all three. You can put this together as a collage, as a power point, a power point of visuals put to music, a short youtube video, a music video, let your imagination go wild. I want you to have fun putting this together.
Just remember the purpose of the "visual image" is to convey the conceptual identity of the character you have been assigned.
Please include the following in your "visual image"
1) Shoes that this character might wear. You have probably heard the proverb, "Don't criticize a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes." This is what I want you to do in this project-walk a mile in your character's shoes.
2) At least 4 artifacts that the character might have saved. Sometimes it is in the items that we choose to save that tells us the most about a person.
3) A container that the character might have stored these 4 artifacts for safe keeping.
4) Music they might have listened to. This could be the actual music, lyrics or simply just the title and artist.
5 Symbols that could be associated with your character
Please have your "visual image" posted before Saturday, April 28. After all have been posted carefully view and consider what your literature group members have created. Can you guess which character they are trying represent? Take a guess and give each member some feedback. Point out things you liked/valued and comments/questions that you have about the piece.
