Bring it to class!

Each time we meet during this novel reading and literary scrapbook time, you will be asked to contribute something to the group discussion and to offer an artifact suitable for use in the project.
Here is the list of things you need to bring:

May 19th/20th: a piece of text-- anything from a blog post to and article to a poem to--whatever-- that connects with your initial pages form your novel.

May 23rd: a song or poem that connects, according to you, to the book you are reading or any character or ideas that spring from your study of this book.

May 24th/25th: An artifact that is suitable for the "extensions" section of your literary scrapbook project ( I gave examples in class of a visit/webpage to the Oregon Museum of Mental Health for Cuckoo's Nest and an advertisement that makes use of the human interruption of the life-cycle of the salmon in order to promote their product for Ricochet River).
