Reading + Visuals + Musical Score Assignment
Unrestricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

This assignment encourages students to make connections between text, visual images, and music.  By choosing visuals and music to accompany a specific scene/passage, students explore deeper meanings of the text and forge personal connections to the text, combining visuals they locate or construct themselves with music they like and that may have personal significance to them and applying both to textual passages.  Working with the text in this way uncovers deeper significance in and may make new meaning for the text in its connection to students’ own preferences and exploration, and this work encourages stronger memory of the text since it has been personalized and explored in these ways.This assignment may be performed by individual students, pairs, or small groups. The following directions and presentation use the novella The Awakening as a sample text to demonstrate a possible approach to this assignment.
