Brainstorm: Ideas For individual Project

Individual or Collaborative Project: Death of a Salesman

Burning question: Why must the title involve death? To what extent is death involved, fear or reality?

Main Idea #1: Scrapbook

Each chapter has:

-Specific theme

-Inspiring/cheerful/touching quotes

-Images painted by the author (show don’t tell)

-Characters might stand out more than others

-Person vs.: self/person/nature

All of these things will be organized in a scrapbook also separated by chapters.

This Project would allow me to learn about this unit by analyzing it from a different lens connecting it to me through a more personal perspective.

Main Idea #2: Puzzle

Each puzzle piece will have symbols that will come from each of the chapters. For example based on the movie something that is symbolic is the red chevy. Each of the puzzle pieces can have something as symbolic as that and at the end the audience will have to put the puzzle together using the recognized symbols to order out the chapters.

It would be better if the puzzle could be big, like life size.

This project would allow the audience to interact more making the presentation more interesting. As the pieces are puzzled together finding certain symbols and or features of the pieces would allow the audience to subconsciously analyze the story.

Main Idea #3: Before & After

The project for this unit could also focus on looking towards the before and after of all the major events.

The before and after could be shown in any artistic way, for example maybe a big book and or posters arranged in the form of a large book in order to show the process in which the story begins to go downhill. This could be due to the market crash, or the distant that grew between Bif and Willy.

This project would be more creative due to the ability of choosing to demonstrate and express the before and after in many different ways with no limits. Before and after’s can be perceived differently for everyone allowing ones ideas to be shared with everyone.
