"Their Eyes Were Watching God" - Zora Neale Hurston
Project 1: Draw Janie walking through the woods when she returns to town.
Project 2: A poem about the death of Tea Cake.
My partner Molly told me to draw Janie in colored pencil. Molly also told me to make the poem very emotional.

Project One: create a collage that has images that portray Janie's life throughout the book.
Project Two: record me playing a song on piano/guitar/violin and play it for the class.

"Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston
Project One: create Janie's diary that could give some insight into things she felt. Possibly her tumultuous relationships,struggles, or her time with Tea Cake.
Project Two: Write a poem about Janie's innocence/womanhood and have it on a poster that has a visual depiction of her and nature.

"Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston
Project 1: Make a detailed poster that symbolizes the novel and uses significant quotes
Project 2: Make a miniature magazine that presents what was going on in the 1920's and 30's while still connecting to the novel
My partner Kayli said these were good ideas and said that the magazine would be especially interesting, especially if I put in information about the Women's Rights Movement

Project 1: Make newspaper with articles on events from book
Project 2: Write story about Tea Cake returning from the dead after he is killed by Janie to haunt her and exact revenge.
Tim seemed to like these two ideas, stating that the Tea Cake story idea could be very detailed using events from the book to go full circle on Janie and come back to bite her to create a riveting story, and the newspaper idea was innovative and creative.

"Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston
Project One: Ghost Story about Tea Cake rising from the dead
Project Two: Greeting Card from Ms. Turner to Janie inviting her over for dinner.
My partner samiya thought that it's a great idea to create a greeting card from the perspective of Ms. Turner about inviting Janie over for dinner. She told me that it would be good to make sure to include how Ms. Turner may try and convince Janie to date her brother.

Project One: A poem about the important symbol of the tree.
Project Two: Writing a section of the novel as a script to see how different it would be compared to the prose of the novel format.
I worked with Lauryl Sandman and got an extra opinion from Mrs. Gamzon. She told me the poem idea was very exciting and writing a script would be really cool to read.
"Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston project.
ReplyDeleteIn my first project I drew Janie being chased by a dog which symbolizes rabid Tea Cake.
For my second project I painted two characters.it represents the south letting becoming the new south and how they let go of slavery and extreme discrimination (for the most part).
My partner Artemis said to make painting colorful and I made one of the characters very colorful and the other dreary to show that the south is letting go of its old racist values.

Project 1: Sock puppet show with Alison
Project 2: Creating a Menu
My partner Alison said a sock puppet show would be good idea because it would focus mainly on diction because sock puppet's can't show emotion.
