Speak - Comparative Theme Project in Google Classroom

Speak - Comparative Theme Project

Your Task:
After reading the Speak, you will select a theme and use support from the reading to present it with a prepared visual and then compare it with another story (Spirited Away) 
Essential Question: What do we learn from the Journey? In reading the Speak we discussed what the hero of the story has gained from her long journey both internally and external. Through this project you will answer the essential question and support it with quotes.


1. Choose one of the themes below to use for both stories and compare evidence
Coming of Age
Speaking up and facing consequences
People getting what they deserve
Silence vs Communication
Facing your Fears
Finding your own home/sanctuary
Appearance vs Reality
Trust among your family & friends
Working hard towards solving your problem
Isolation & abandonment 
Overcoming memory & trauma
Female Empowerment
Strength of Growth/ Transformation
Control over violence
Staying True to yourself/ Identity
Confidence and self-assurance
Fighting Monsters in our life
Dealing with Anxiety & Stress
Breaking Patterns of Depression
2. You will use support from the Speak (Text & quotes - One Pager, Novel, & Quote Bank - DO NOT USE FILM lines…) to write a claim on your theme

3.  Create your VISUAL:  You will need to create either a digital presentation (slides or powerpoint) to turn in as a product.

(15pt)

Speak: One Pager & the Heroes' Journey in Google Classroom

Speak: One Pager & the Heroes' Journey

A one pager is a visual representation of what you just read. It can use symbols or different representations to help you visual the reading and prepare you for other work that will occur.

Guidelines & Steps for your 1 pager
ALL of the following (arranged on the page ANY way you choose)
TITLE & AUTHOR
THREE or MORE excerpts (quotes) from the readng (passages or writing you like or think are especially important)
- Your 3+ quotes need to address 3 DIFFERENT STAGES of the hero's journey as discussed in Joseph's Campbells MONOMYTH
- What is Melinda's great ORDEAL? Who is her MENTOR? What events happen during the APPROACH? Is there a moment of RESURRECTION? Select quotes that support these stages and be able to explain it.
- Optional: You need to identify a LITERARY DEVICE in your selected quotes if possibe - such as metaphor, simile, irony, foreshadowing, and etc. Why are these literary devices important to the stages or the certain idea: Theme?

A personal response to EACH passage or quote you selected (this will MOST likely be your interpretation on HOW your quotes explains a certain stage of the hero journey) Consider what you wrote for your annotations and they relate to what we learn from heroes. Which ones works best? Use this to address EACH of the 3 stages of the heroes' journey and what you can say about those stages.)
ONE or MORE graphic representation or symbol to represent your passages or the reading. (illustrations, magazine pictures, or computer -generated graphics related to the story and to the passage you selected) these might be illustrative or interpretive for the what symbols and connections we can see in the novel. Ex. You may add the tree and connect it with CALL TO ADVENTURE... OR Draw a card stuck to a locker and connect it with TRIALS.
- Lastly, you need to address what you believe the THEME to be for this story. Is Melinda a true hero or not? What does her experience tell us about the greater world? What might be the key topics her act tell us about female characters and their voice?

Fill the entire paper with quotes, color, & drawings (if you can't draw just try something simple & neat. Printed or computer generated images also need to be neat or printed well w/ color)Written work must be in INK or TYPED (no pencils - You can always trace over your pencil sketches or writing) Use COLOR as much possible ADD a BORDER or any other decoration and you're DONE!


Tips: 

Quotes can be from film OR novel but you MUST include time/minutes with the film and pg number for the novel.  (Be aware there are differences)
Use the chart I included ONLY as a model or frame to start your ONE pager. You DO NOT have to use it.

Responsible for Tragedy - R & J Essay

Introduction: At the end of Romeo & Juliet the Prince puts responsibility for the six deaths in the story on all the characters. “All are punished” he states suggesting everyone suffers since it was everyone’s responsibility.

Was it a greater power, the parents, or their children who are most at fault?

Prompt: Use your knowledge of the Tragedy Romeo & Juliet to choose and defend a position on the topic of responsibility in Romeo & Julie Based on the two text write an argument essay in the form of literary criticisms in response to this question - Which of these three ideas within these stories had the greatest responsibility for how the stories ended? 
Fate/chance: Is there a higher power such as fate, destiny, or chance that kept the lovers apart & led to their end?
Authority: Does the responsibility lie with the adults who should know better but may not always make the best choices for those they are protecting?
Youth: Can we give responsibility to the younger & more immature characters that made a choice which led to poor decisions & worse a poor end?


Assignment: Create a 5 paragraph essay paper on if fate, authority, or youth should have the greatest blame in these tragic stories.

Romeo & Juliet - Concept Map in Google Classroom

Romeo & Juliet - Concept Map

At the end of Romeo & Juliet we see several crimes and death have occurred. In a modern court of law blame and responsibility would be a national court case argument. So what do we blame for the deaths in the story? Examining the concepts and major groups in the story let us map out possible IDEAS for responsibility.


1. In the slide below the first chart  are a few LARGE concepts that are MOST deserving of blame in our story of woe (Juliet & her Romeo). Add in details of which events, people, or examples fit in each category. You may even come up with a category of your own.
2. Next tell us HOW these groups are MOST deserving of blame. Do not just focus on ONE character but the group the character/ event belongs
3. Questions about comparing these concepts to modern are listed after the chart. Complete them to help you compare the different concepts.

That already tells us this city in the mountain is definitely a tourist trap for those people that like cheap souvenirs and over priced food/ beverages. However, my wife and I took a day trip that was fun and exciting because of the snow and small shops we like. We made candles, ate burgers the size of your face, and took our little dog to the snow for the first time. Touristy yeah... but is it really a problem if we love souvenirs?

Wk #12 - The Turtle - Extended Metaphor w/ John Steinbeck in Google Classroom

Wk #12 - The Turtle - Extended Metaphor w/ John Steinbeck

In the early 1930s, Oklahoma’s panhandle became known as the “Dust Bowl” after a combination of droughts and
overfarming created an ecological disaster. Crops would no longer grow on the land and farmers had to move west
in search of work. Most travelled to California’s central valley, where the land was lush and they had heard jobs were
plentiful. When the farming families arrived in California, many landowners took advantage of the displaced farmers’
desperation to feed their families and offered pitifully low wages. Steinbeck takes up the plight of these Oklahoman
farmers in his famous novel, The Grapes of Wrath.”  


1. Listen to Chapter 3 Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
2. Discuss with a partner the different symbolisms of EACH of the images described in the chapter
3. You will write what you believe these represented & we will disduss as a whole class

Wk #12 Monday - Find and select a symbol you can explain through something you've watched or heard. What is this symbol, where is it from, and what does it mean?

1. Research a symbol OR use symbols we discussed in other readings such as the 7th Man, Life of Pi, & Most Dangerous Game
2. An example can be used from ANY media (Netflix, Youtube, & literature)
3. Here's two Examples:
     In the Lord of the Rings stories the "ONE Ring" represented pure evil. The ring itself was something one can wear and would make them invisible but it also corrupted them. The writer Tokien was a man of faith and believed that the journey of Frodo was a journey of Christ to rid himself of evil that he wore on his finger. This represent how the one ring were the "sins" of man and had to be purged by fire as in what happens in the last book of the Lord of the Rings.


     In the story of the Captain America Winter Solider Bucky Barnes represented the cold threat OR the idea of the cold war. Bucky was frozen and brainwashed representing how most Americans felt about how Russia was in a state of paralsis because of communism and they believed (brainwashed) their nation were at the height of its power in the 1990's... - Also connected to when Bucky killed Tony's parents in the film.

Project Check #2 Supporting Evidence in Google Classroom

Project Check #2 Supporting Evidence

1. For this assignment: EACH OF YOUR GROUP MEMBERS WILL SUBMIT THEIR OWN QUOTE OR EVIDENCE w/ COMMENTARIES
2. Begin with your claim - Include your claim slide or restate it in the slide you will turn in
3. Next you will need to use a quote, dialogue, or any evidence from the stories. 
    Give ONE evidence from EACH story (Life of Pi & 7th Man) - Divide that or assigned them thoughtfully between group members
    Give commentaries for each concrete detail and WHY it supports your claim. 
    OPTIONAL: Use symbols or literary devices (metaphor, irony, foreshadowing, & motifs - recurring ideas) to help you explain the purpose of the stories message
4. For each concrete detail (a quote, dialogue, symbol, & etc) have ONE group member take credit. DO NOT USE THE SAME EVIDENCE in your group.

    Ex:   Claim = Survival in both stories come at a cost too great  
    The Life of Pi Quote = "He was such an evil man... still he brought the evil out of me" Min 1:53-1:54      
    Life of Pi commentary: This quote explains that survival for Pi was at the cost of what he held was good. In his explanation of his story at the end of the film. Pi explains that the cook was "resourceful" man and did the most awful things to survive with little regard to who he hurt. Pi explains that the cook was "such an evil man" since he committed all manner of sins such as killing the sailor and eventual killing Pi's mother. What Pi realizes even more is that he had to allowed the evil in him to come out. The cook brought "the evil out of me" suggesting that Pi had to become what he most feared: a primal animal. This was the cost of survival. The cost was Pi's soul.... For Pi to dirty his soul and even forsake his faith for a time was a something awful that he could barely bring himself to talk about.
 Group Member = Mason


5. Submit as a slide is preferred


**NOTE - This again is for me to check if you are 1. on task 2. If you need assistance in writing your ideas 3. to give you feedback before your presentation.  As long as you submit somthing to help you improve your ideas what you submit here does NOT need to be right but should be a decent attempt.
