NPPA for Pure Lit Class

This NPPA will require you to create a blog for one of these characters.

Hermia
Helena
Lysander
Demetrius
Puck
Bottom

Project details:
  • Group work - 4 to 5 members
  • Each group can only take one character, which you must "book" with me
  • You can use any blogging platform, but you must create at least 10 posts...
  • of minimum 200 words each...
  • which detail the thoughts and feelings of the character as they progress through the play.
  • There must be at least one post covering each act of the play.
  • This means your chosen character will have "made" a post for Act 1, Act 2, Act 3, Act 4 and Act 5.
  • You may choose to use any of the remaining posts for whichever Acts you wish.
  • You may even write posts from before the play begins or after it finishes.
  • You are encouraged to use interesting templates for the blog that you feel reflect the personality of character you have chosen.
  • Your blog MUST have a means for visitors to leave comments for individual posts.
  • Your blog MUST have a link back to this blog.
  • You must submit to me your blog URL by WEEK 5 - you do not have to have finished it by then, I just want to know where it is.
  • The final grade will be decided at the end of WEEK 9, with progress being monitored throughout the weeks.
  • The links for all Character Blogs will be placed on this blog for easy access.
Grading for the NPPA will be as follows:
  1. Accuracy of portrayal - 10 (How true to the story is the character you have chosen?)
  2. Layout and Design - 10 (Points are given for the use of colours, pictures and other media to reflect the personality of your character)
  3. Attention to detail/Effort - 10 (Points are given for the effort you appear to have put into the blog.)
  4. Interaction with other characters - 10 (Points will be given for interaction with other characters on their blogs, e.g. "Hermia" leaving a comment on "Demetrius's" blog.)
Any Questions? :)
