Review criteria for Expression of Grief creative project:
You are to construct a creative expression to convey the depth of Mary’s grief at the beginning of Ch 8 in the novel. “My mother’s keening by the river was eerie…” (p.31).
Given that this is a very creative and insightful assignment, I offer little constraint in terms of what you construct. This expression may be a poem. You may compose a song (lyrics and music). You may create a painting, a sculpture, a photo essay or video constructed on digital media. The medium you choose is entirely up to you but bear in mind, the effort you put into your expression will be a key basis for the grading of this assignment.
DUE: Pd 2 = Nov 20/23
Remaining class time to work on finishing Journal #1 (for ch 6-8) from last day and/or brainstorming for creative project (see above criteria).

Paragraph #2: What are your own views on jealousy? In a journal entry, write about an incident in which jealousy led to unpleasant consequences. Do you view jealousy as a character flaw or just a normal part of human nature?
