To conclude our reading of Pobby and Dingan, I would like you to complete a creative project instead of a formal essay. I am going to give you a lot of freedom in what kind of project you choose. Choose to do something that will be interesting to you, that will capitalize on your strengths, and that will allow you to learn something. The amount of work you put into the project should be the equivalent of the amount of work you would do to complete a 5-page literary analysis essay. You can work alone or with a group, but if you work in a group, your project should reflect the amount of time all of you put into it together.
Here is a website that gives lots of examples of creative projects. Use this list to devise one of your own that either is the same/similar to one here or combines more than one idea:

You will need to submit a proposal (one per each person in the group) that says exactly what you plan to do, how you will do it, why, and what you hope to learn from it. Also discuss the estimated amount of time you think it will take and how you will break down the time into a project noting the days and times you will complete each part of the project. If you are working in a group, please specify exactly who will do what and when.
The proposal is a formal writing assignment, so make sure it is clear, detailed, and grammatically correct. Get started on the proposal soon -- don't wait until the last minute!
