Analyzing Themes through characterization, symbolism and figurative language in Their Eyes Were Watching God.

Create a project or essay that describes your feelings about one theme from the memories that Jonas receives from the Giver.

Projects could include, but are not limited to, a 3-5 page essay, collage, painting, sculpture, oral presentation, board game, etc. Be creative!

Students who create projects will be able to schedule conferences with me in place of a draft in order to receive feedback.
