You will have the opportunity to use your multiple intelligences to complete this project. Choose your task below.

Project 1- The Character Recipe


In this assignment you will demonstrate how well you can analyze characterization in a play. Using what you know about any character try to create them in recipe form. Prewriting 1. Select a character from the play. 2. List character traits and descriptions as they appear in the novel, short story, biography, etc. 3. Determine and list events or forces that they believe helped shape the character. 4. Look at a few recipes from magazines to see how they are written. Writing Create a recipe that Arthur Miller might have used to develop the character that you have selected. Baste themselves in creative juices every so often. Revising Stir. Add ingredients. Check to make sure preparation instructions are clear and in logical order. Proofreading Check spelling and grammar.

Knead until thoroughly mixed. Slowly fold in Faulty Logic, one chunk at a time. Sprinkle Pride over mixture and blend until thoroughly combined. Place in a hot Salem kettle. When mixture is in the heat, the backbone will be exposed. Carefully remove and discard. Add Yellow food coloring. During cooking, mixture will slowly turn colors. Carefully add Truth.
