Saturation
Paper
In your groups, brainstorm a list of names of
famous individuals who interest you for one reason or another. Share names
with rest of class and compose a whole class list. Keeping these names in
mind, consider the parameters of the research project you will tackle.
Your paper will focus on one
particular moment in the life of a subject you choose. Describe what your
person looks like, identify and describe where he or she is, and explain what is
going on at the time. Include, through interior monologue, what your
character is thinking during this moment. Document all material obtained
from research utilizing appropriate MLA format.
Possible organization plan for
paper:
-
description of the setting
-
description of the action in the setting
-
introduction of the famous person
-
interior monologue of the person's
thoughts
You are attempting to capture one
minute or so in the life of your subject. There is no minimum or maximum
paper length.
You will need a minimum of three
sources, one of which must be a book. This will be your independent book
for this quarter.
All notes will be taken in a
journal you will keep throughout this process. All papers must be peer
edited by a writing group and teacher edited before you put your final draft on
your web page.
