    ENG1D1 Independent Reading Assignment

    Verbal-Visual Collage
    Step #1: Choose your novel Choose a novel (minimum 250 pages) and have it read by ________________________. Your teacher will give you reading periods, so be sure to bring your novel to class. Step #2: Identify the main ideas & themes As you read: Determine the major themes, ideas or conflicts that are being developed in your novel. Record FIVE quotations from the novel that reveal these themes & ideas. Write FIVE personal statements that relate to these themes & ideas. Finally, choose images (drawings, graphics, magazine or computer images, etc) that depict these themes, ideas and conflicts. Avoid literal depictions of the plot or characters; rather, choose images that have symbolic value. Step #3: Design your collage Using the principles of design and media techniques discussed in class, arrange your visual images and verbal statements (five quotations & five personal statements) on a Bristol board to create a collage. Be sure to include the title and author of the novel. N.B. This collage should communicate the main themes, ideas and conflicts in the novel; therefore, your images and statements should work together to convey this unified message. Arrange your images and words purposefully! On the back of your collage: List your FIVE quotations and FIVE personal statements. Write a detailed, one-paragraph explanation of the meaning and intentions behind your visual elements. This explanation will help you to complete the final step. Step #4: Present your Verbal-Visual Collage You will briefly present your verbal-visual collage to the class on an assigned date. During your presentation, you will: Give a brief synopsis of your novel. State the major themes, ideas and/or conflicts of the novel. Explain how your collage communicates these themes and ideas. Your presentation should be about 5 minutes in length.
