Jane Austen's P & P Modernization
There's been some news about a recent re-imagining of Pride and Prejudice in - ahem - Cincinnati. You can also read this as your final project. You'd just have to share your notes and later your thoughts about the book with the class.

The Way it Ends for Seniors
Seniors must imagine they have been invited to read the Class of 2016 a poem. As experts in poetry, you will choose one of these forms to write your poem in: sonnet, villanelle, sestina. It may be an ode, an elegy, or a lyric poem. This is the corresponding rubric.
Keep in mind your performance will be graded rather than your actual poem, so you'll want to practice.

The Way it Ends for Juniors
Choose one of the following options. You´ll be assessed once formatively and during our final exam day summatively.
- Play the video game narrative everyone is talking about, Gone Home. You can either write a brief essay (2-3 pages) that analyzes the video game, or create an analytic walk through video that focuses on one part of the story. You can play the video game in class. The game will be paid for with the money raised during the Hamlet-a-thon.
- Translate a short story or poem or series of poems (length will be approved by teacher).
- Create a graphic novel of a short story. You can use computer software on campus for this, however I prefer people that are more artistically inclined do so.
- Adapt a poem to a song.
- Create a stop-motion LEGO version of any work we studied (in EVL).
- Create a series of concrete poems or sound poems.
- (Whole class only) Perform a one act play (comedy or tragedy)
