The Pearl Analysis and the Zombie Narrative
The first half of our class period consists of an analysis of a chapter in The Pearl. We are looking at one chapter at a time and syncing with each Zombie Apocalypse "Day." To see the analysis work that we are completing, click here. Each Bell-Ringer is labeled.
The second half of our class period consists of our "Zombie Apocalypse" Scenarios. By the end of Day 6, your group members will have a chronologically sound Narrative piece, which will incorporate key writing and stylistic components that are reflective of narratives.
After the entirety of the challenge is complete, your group members will take that narrative piece and manipulate it for film and visual appeal, creating your character's account (in film format) of their 6-day journey, the obstacles they faced (including realistic science-related situations), and the end result.
Friday, October 30th, we will have a huge Film Festival in the Murry Room, giving all classes an opportunity to view their own and others' "Independent Films."
