Mid-Winter Break

Pretend you are HOLDEN and create a self portrait! ( Just like the self portraits of Frida Kahlo we studied in class.) Use 3 direct quotations from the text and be creative as you highlight major themes and symbols in your work of art. Your "self portrait" can be a comic book, a comic strip, a painting, a drawing, a collage, a website, a tapestry, a diorama or anything you want as long as you write the author's name, the name of the book and 3 important quotes.

All assignments are due on Monday when you get back!
Check your rubric to see how you will be graded.

GOOD LUCK!
