Steps of Literary Portrait Project
Step one-We can have the students go to this website
Step two- each student picks out a picture to do a picture analysis
on
Step three- Students write literary portraits using a rubric to
guide them-they write historical fiction based on their picture.
Students will write from the point of view of someone in their
picture
Step four-Students will display their picture in front of the class
using the website and they will read their literary portrait!
