Post Secret

Post Secret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a post card. It's been going on for years and still continues to this day. There has been a book of these secrets published and a website created too.

For this blog, I would like for you to create a "post secret" for one of the characters. Please focus on Part III of the book. What's a secret that one of the characters contains within this book? Find an image that befits your secret, and then using PicMonkey, put your secret on the image. Embed the image into your blog...THEN YOU NEED TO WRITE. Tell me who is holding this secret and why they are holding this secret in no less than EIGHT SENTENCES.

Consider these things:
  • What would happen if the secret got out?
  • Who would this secret affect?
  • Why won't this person just tell their secret?
  • How are they feeling about this secret?

  REMEMBER TO WRITE YOUR EIGHT SENTENCE PARAGRAPH BELOW!

Character and Clothing




Mrs. Carn's Example

For this blog, I would like for you to choose a character from the book and create a design board for them - complete with two outfits.  

You will create the board utilizing the website called Polyvore OR you may create it in a Google Drawing document. Polyvore gives you clothes and accessories to choose from already and then you design the board. You must create an account though at www.polyvore.com   If you work in Google Drawings find individual items to be placed onto your board and then take a screenshot of the board and then insert it onto your blog as an image.


You need to include the following on your board:

  • Two Clothing Outfits
  • Two Pairs of Shoes
  • 6 Accessories (make-up, backpacks, jewelry, tools, etc.)
  • The Name of Your Character on Your Board
The outfits must truly represent what your character is like based upon what you have read in the book.  Have fun!

Journal Entry

Look back at the beginning at Part 3 of the Uglies book and recall the important events taking place...


For this blog, I would like you to assume the role of one of the characters within those chapters and write a diary entry.  You must write in first person as that character. Please address it as Dear Diary, include 4 points of reference to those chapters, and include a closing Sincerely, (insert character name). Be sure to include the closing so I know from which character's perspective you are writing in for this blog entry.

This diary entry should be no less than eight sentences.
