Please go to the MOODLE page and download
the "30 Days of Poetry" document. Pick one of the poem formats
to write. Then...
For this blog, I
would like you to write a poem as if you were one of the characters in the
book. Be sure to explain: who
is the character writing the poem and what type of poem you chose. Then either place the poem onto a picture. Utilize www.picmonkey.com to create the image with words on it.
·Pick a song that represents a character, theme, setting,
or event within the Uglies thus far.
·Then in a detailed paragraph (no less than 8 sentences)
explain why this song fits.
·You must cite specific lines of the song and explain the
song in reference to the book.
·Don't pick a song just because you like it. Make sure it is the right fit!
Mrs.
Carn's Example:
I
chose the song, "We are Young" by the band called Fun. I chose this
song for two reasons. The first reason
is that I think it epitomizes the "pretty lifestyle" within the book. They do not have a care in the world - they
are young, pretty, and they just want to have a party all the time. Every night is a blast - with music, drinks,
laughter, fireworks, and they truly feel like they are going to "set the
world on fire". I also chose this
song to represent this struggling relationship between Tally and Peris. In the song the artist sings, "Now I
know that I'm not/all that you got/I guess that I/just thought maybe we could
find new ways to fall apart" and I feel this describes the tension within
their relationship. Tally desperately
wants to be with Peris but her "ugliness" is keeping that from
occurring. Peris wants to be her friend
but his new lifestyle is halting that from happening. Their relationship now seems a bit
superficial and not based upon the substance it once had. But in Peris' mind "they are young"
and it's time to have fun and not worry about all of that.
In the chapter entitled, "Last Trick" - Shay decides that she is going
to runaway. Tally decides that she will NOT and that she would rather
turn "pretty". Shay, however, is still holding out that Tally will
change her mind - so she gives Tally a sheet of paper with a code on it
that will direct her on where to find her.
For this blog, I would like for you to create a "secret message" from
Shay to Tally. Your message does NOT have to be directions - it can be
any lasting thought Shay may have for Tally. Make up the code and a
directory for that code (as seen below). THEN HAVE ONE PERSON GO TO
YOUR BLOG AND DECIPHER THE CODE - THEY NEED TO LEAVE THE ACTUAL MESSAGE
IN THE "COMMENT BOX".

For this blog, you need to create a brochure for the Rusty Ruins. Please utilize Google Drawing to create this brochure. When you are done you need to take a screenshot of the brochure and put it onto your blog. After you post the image then you need to describe the Rusty Ruins below it in no less than six sentences. You also need to utilize at least two direct quotes from the book.
On your brochure you need to include:
Title: The Rusty Ruins
Two Images that You Believe the Rusty Ruins to Look Like
Attractions and Five Bullet Points of Possible Reasons a Person Would Want to Visit the Rusty Ruins
History: Explain What This Place Is and How It Originated
Write your descriptive paragraph below. Make sure you include at least two direct quotes from the book to help in your description. This paragraph needs to be at least six sentences long.
For this blog post, I would like for you to create an avatar. This avatar should be a representation of what you believe a pretty guy or a pretty girl looks like in the book. There are many free websites out there that allow you to create avatars and then download an image.
I suggest you use: http://avachara.com/avatar/
After you are done, you need to insert the image of your avatar onto the blog post and then write about it. In at least eight sentences describe your Pretty. Within the paragraph, you need to quote the book at least once on descriptive items about your pretty. As you explain pretend you are speaking to a class of littlies and what they can expect when they turn 16 years old.
