Project: "A Villain in Our Eyes"

Subject areas approached: English, History, Photo, Video, etc.

Driving Question: Can we recognize evil when we see it in the flesh? Sub-question: What defines evil? It's face, it's actions, both...?

IN DRAFT! :)

Project Idea: What is a villain in today’s society? Post discussion of Lord of the Flies (and discussion of who is really evil, Ralph or Jack), students create a textual and visual representation of a villain in public life. Students will make use of literary devices & terms discussed in the trimester thus far (metaphor, liminality, etc.), and they will use sensory details in a manner according to the text (pending investigation of the lush, fantastical world Golding creates, and its meaning) to create a narrative that elaborates on the image they've chosen. to create a written character sketch of their hero in a heroic moment, and then represented that moment through photography.
