Culminating Activities - under construction

Choose one.

1. Illustrated quotations. Choose three important quotations from the novel which reveal something important about a main character, topic, or theme of the novel.  What do each of these quotations reveal? Create drawings to go with each quotation.

2. Create a public service poster warning of the dangers of ________________________.  What are examples of how _____________________ affects _________________.

4. Create a presentation on heroism. How does this non-fiction book portray heroism. How do other books, movies, news and popular culture traditionally depict heroes?

5. Create a poster or essay or comic strip about the thesis of Quiet or Anxious Generation.

6. How is power portrayed in this novel? Which characters or cultures use their power to take what they want versus using their power to influence others to negotiate or compromise or form partnerships? When is each use of power justified (if it is)? Are their historical or current event examples of individuals or nations wielding power in these ways: take what one wants because one is stronger vs. using influence to form partnerships? What do you value & why?

7. Create a poster or essay about self-knowledge and how that is a form of power.  Consider how acknowledging our weaknesses or our less admirable tendencies gives us power. How does a main character understand themselves better by the end of the novel? What role does their self-knowledge play in helping them succeeding?
