Literary weaving
Each group will complete the following project based on their novel. Due date: Tues., May 17
Pay attention to words and phrases, images, even colors that seem especially significant to your book.
Create a paper strip that could serve as a means of prompting discussion about the book. Eventually
we’ll weave the paper strips together to create a literary weaving reflective of faith as represented
through the books. Each strip must include both a written and visual response to the book.
The written response will include either a significant “snippet” from the book or a key word(s) or
phrase repeated on your strip. If you include a quote or phrase, be sure to include the page
number somewhere on the strip.
Visually, consider color(s), images, shapes, symbols, and designs that seem representative of, or
significant to ideas, issues, themes, characters, setting, mood, and tone in the book. Leave very
little white space. Feel free to repeat symbols. I recommend not creating an entire scene, since
weaving the strips together will cause you to “lose” aspects of your design underneath the
woven pieces.
Based on your completed paper strip, answer these on loose leaf and turn them in with your rubric.
