We like it, like that...

We will close out our exploration of Coming of Age texts this week.  Please note that there are several important due dates including your double-entry journals and artistic responses for your parallel reading. You were responsible for choosing a Coming of Age novel and developing 6 dialectal (Double Journal entry) reflections.  EACH reflections should include a quote (MLA format) your chosen novel (4 sentences or more) of significance: characterization, plot, literary element, etc. Your final submission should be completed on or before August 31, 2018.
 
In addition, you will create a thematically based artistic response for your Coming of Age novel. This response will be presented to the class beginning August 29th.   You must accompany your artistic response with a rationale, explaining the choices you made and the connection between the piece and the novel.  The rationale must be at least one typed page in length (MLA format) and submitted through Schoology.com.
