  3. A creative project could be to come up with a a piece of music, instrumental or lyrical, that could be Janie's theme throughout the novel.

  4. As a creative writing major and a piano major, I'd say that two projects that could work for the final assessment would be composing a piece for one of the characters that represents their personality and how I interpreted them. I'd also write a poem or something to go with it that explains the nature of the composition.

  5. Being a strings major, one project that i could do is make a song that depicts the different moods in the novel. I could also make a diorama that depicts a scene that stands out the most to me in the novel.

  6. Make a drawing depicting an important scene from the novel. Or make a diorama showing a significant scene from the book.

  7. I could write a poem relating to a theme or two in the novel and either a documentary (if I have the time) or a newspaper with a few articles about events that happened either in the novel or in the time period relating to the novel
