Project+1

Creative Writing/Art Project Ms. Plummer/Ms. Kasyanik GSWLA Creative Writing Class Project due date-February 27, 2008 Project Procedures : For this first project, students will choose one of their own works that they have already mounted on the GSWLA wikispace to revise and augment. This is a multimedia project in which you will combine your literary work with art and music you select as backdrops. The art and music should be selected and combined to showcase your literary effort. All three components should be constructed in a powerpoint that students will present in class and that will ultimately be mounted to our class wikispace. Please limit your creative literary arts presentation to three to five minutes in length. Also, be conscious of the appropriateness of your subject matter as your project will be transparent to all visitors to our site. Assessed Components : Your work will be assessed based on the following criteria: · Completeness of work · Clearly defined tone and at least an emerging voice and style · Vividness of imagery in the literary piece and the art supporting it. · Strength and concreteness of word choice and diction · Inclusion of dialogue or dialect if needed and appropriate · Inclusion of one or more of the exercise techniques used so far in class · Use and appropriateness of the choice of music and art to reinforce the literary work · Obvious use of revision and proofreading techniques in one or more drafts created for the project · Accuracy of grammatical and mechanical elements of the literary work · Technical craft in creating a seamless combining of the three mediums · Overall artistic merit of the final project product presentation before the class Students are encouraged to visit a variety of online sites and ezines to retrieve ideas for their projects with the understanding that the final project must be unique and original to each student. Good luck and have a great time creating your masterpiece !!
