Any suggestion?
In English class, I have to read a book and do a project on it. The project is basically just a bunch of info on the book, but i also have to do a "visual presentation" that has to do with the book. The book that I am reading is Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens.
My teacher gave some suggestions, such as: Diorama Picture Short-scene Song written to go with the book(someone actually has done this for the project before) The important thing about this is that i have to MAKE it myself. My Problem is that i have no amount of creativity at all. So, any ideas? |
choose the short scene. All you have to do is say what the character says and do what the character does. If that is what you mean of course.

oliver twist? good stuff man. if you want to plagerize (but only a little bit) take the song "Food, Glorious Food" from Oliver! (the musical) and just change the lyrics around and make it about the book. that might work. if you dont mind singing....but hey, kids can do it so you can too.

Legos! do something with Legos! like...a Lego diarama of one of the scenes.
|
Yea, man! I always did legos as creative visuals! Back when I could still find them, that is...
|
An easy diorama (if you're using Legos) would be to use the scene of all the thieves at their hideout. Put Artful Dodger in there somewhere, Oliver somewhere else, maybe a few of them sleeping. And to simulate dust clouds in a dreary settings (got this from Calvin and Hobbes :D ) you could use cotton balls.

leave it to an english highschool class to dumb down literature.
"oh look! shiney! it must be a good book!" ....... im not even going to go into a rant on this one. |
take the bob the builder song and adapt it and use legos for emphasis

"No matter how good literature is, it always must be reduced to some kind of glittery presentation. Why can't you just let it be what it is - good literature? Why must there be something built around it to attract attention?"
Sorry, blackmager, if I get you wrong there, that's how I understand it. I kinda wondered that myself back in school... of course, it came after the question why we read nearly only crap. |
