Directions
=Rubric= media type="custom" key="3841715" =Hand in List=
 * 1) Create a poster or other visual display and on it share the basic elements of story from the story you've chosen.
 * 2) This means you'll need to:
 * 3) Identify the elements of plot for the story--find a short passage from the text to represent each of the points
 * 4) Identify three characters from the story and show/explain what kind of characters they are (flat/round or dynamic/static)
 * remember, you can //show// us this visually too (be creative)
 * 1) Include an explanation of what kind of **point of view**the story uses and how that point of view effects the story
 * 2) Describe/show the setting and how the settings used effect the story
 * 3) Describe and give a passage from the text to support the theme of the story.
 * 4) Display/communicate all your information creatively through a manner of your choosing.
 * **Default method:** Use a piece of paper or poster paper and show things all around it (with illustrations or pasted pictures, etc.).
 * **Slide show:** use a computer to make a slide show or movie, even with music accompanying it (Power Point, Movie Maker, PhotoStory),
 * **Collage**: make a physical collage around your explanations (or in addition to them) or create a collage using some kind of software, including Word, Power Point, or even a cool [|website like this one.]

 * 2) For quotes with plot line, must have page numbers for each line
 * 3) The poster needs to have at least six points of visual creativity (pictures you draw, that you've found, etc.)
 * 4) Each element should be explained, which means writing from you that shows you understand both 1) what happened in the story and 2) what that literary element is.
