CCSS: RL.11-12.1, RL.11-12.2, RL.11-12.4, RL.11-12.5, W.11-12.4, W.11-12.7
The scrapbook will contain a total of five (5) written documents, five (5) quotes, and five (5)

diary or journal entries (minimum 125 words each)
poems (any format and rhyme scheme is acceptable)

At least three (3) of these written documents must be written from the perspective of the main
character, Alice. The remaining two (2) documents can be written from any other character’s
perspective. Remember, the goal of each written document is to show an understanding of theme,
characterization, or symbolism.
Five (5) Quotes
At least five (5) of your written documents should contain a quote from the novel. This quote
should be blended into your own writing to make it sound authentic. You are required to
highlight and provide the page number for each quote that you incorporate/use. As you read the
novel, you should write down any quotes that you think reveal themes, character traits or
symbolism.
Five (5) Symbols
There are many items, objects, and events in the novel that have a deeper meaning. Think about
the title of each section as an example. As you read the novel, pay attention to these symbols, ask
questions in class discussions, and write down your ideas. You will “archive” at least five (5) of
these symbols in your scrapbook. Any of the following forms are acceptable for your symbols:
●

●
original illustrations (freehand, black & white, color, paint, etc. are all acceptable)
original photos (photographs you have taken yourself)
original graphic design through the use of the computer (Google images is NOT original)

Should you select this option, it is required that you include all of the components listed above.
