Character Chart: MND

In JE #59/left and right, create a character chart of your own design. 

Since this chart is for your benefit, do it in a way that's going to help you remember who's who.

This link will take you to information about them:    http://nfs.sparknotes.com/msnd/characters.html

For each character, include:

• The basic info from the first sentence in the character's description.
• A drawing of how you think the character might look
• If applicable, a drawing of a symbol that you could associate with the character (based on the info on this page). For example, the first sentence about Hippolyta says she's "The legendary queen of the Amazons." So, you might draw a crown.

Pick-a-Piece

The Pick-a-Piece assignment is a way for you to take a piece of  writing I have not yet entered in the grade book (except for HW credit) and revise it so it's a potential portfolio piece. It's a chance to write one final piece this trimester that you get to choose (instead of having me assign a new piece).

I haven't entered writing grades for:

• technology story
• lit letter
• Algernon's POV
• Dust Bowl letter  

I've asked you to email the piece so I can give you feedback before you revise.  You don't have to, but
your chances of earning the best grade possible are probably higher if you do send it.

Because a few of you have indicated you aren't clear about the assignment, I'll accept your final drafts
until Tuesday. However, the deadline for emailing me for feedback is Sunday at 5 PM. I won't have time after that because I have to work on finalizing your grades.

I hope that clears up any problems about this assignment!
