"MAPLAN"... Modernist Author Project

Notes for My Project.....

Jessica Wilkin, Teanna Silveira, Jonah Maher, and I decided to do a group project.

• Project?: News Report/ Broadcast
• Name?: Daily Modernist News
• Channel?: Channel 72
• We will be acting it out 
• Include background music based on what they liked
• Interview the authors
• start with the Credo: words to live by/ life philosophy
• Genre?: Report on a novel (what it's talking about)
• Report on the person behind the book:

1. Life circumstances 
2. Behaviors
3. Ideas
4. Religion & Politics
5. Childhood/ Family Background
6. Previous Work
7. Personality

• Ask random people on what their input is
• Have a "commercial" with one author talking about themselves and how they "help the community".
• Pressing Question?: Do it at the end (During Credits).... Have the question at the end and have the author answer it.

Back-up ideas in case this doesn't work!!!

• Make a group story about the authors.
• Write an essay with links to other websites with great information on the author.
