 Final Projects: 

Creative response that brings literature to a more public sphere: visual media, verbal media, dance, etc….

•  A song (PJ Harvey has a song called “Joy” inspired by O’Connor’s “Good Country People” ; The Airborne Toxic Event named their band from Don DeLillo's novel White Noise)
  
• A dance with music that interprets literature
• Poster for a movie (or play) based on a piece of literature (real or imagined)
  
• Piece of art inspired by a particular piece of writing that isn't already mentioned here!
  
• A dramatic monologue
• A quick film/performance

- Make sure that the inspiration / influence of the written work is evident in the response “text” that you make…

- You will make a 5 minute presentation of your creative response in Week 15, explaining what inspired and influenced your response.
