Thematic+Brading+Instructions

Our first assignment will be to use //Google Docs// to create a Thematic Braiding. This will be created by you first choosing a theme that you find in the novel. This theme can be anything that stands out to you, Love, addiction, determination, or anything else that grabs you. Once you have a theme we'll make the braid by focusing on the connections you've made between the novel and yourself, the world, and other books.

The thematic braid will make use of images to enhance our understanding of what you're talking about. The braid will have 4 slides.

Slide 1-- The Title slide. This slide will include
 * Title of the novel
 * Your name
 * The author
 * Your chosen theme
 * An image that represents the theme

Slide 2-- The Quote Slide. This slide will include
 * A quote from the book (include page numbers)
 * An image that captures the feel of the quote

Slide 3-- The Connections Slide. This slide will include
 * A connection between the book and yourself
 * A connection between the book and the world
 * A connection between the book and other books
 * An image that represents one of the connections

Slide 4-- The Credit Slide. This slide will include
 * The sources for your images
