February Master Inspirements

Master:

Consider: As you read this book, consider what letters you might have to wear if the initials to your weaknesses/sins had to be pinned on your shirt. Think about how this might affect you and others. 

Read: The Scarlet Letter
Choose: A favorite though/quote/idea in the book
Write: A thought-provoking question to ask others about something in the book

And choose one of the following:

-Write a  persuasive letter to someone (imaginary or real - it can even be to yourself) who is struggling with their desires not being in line with what they know to be right. Tell them how they might overcome those desires. (This can be the same as you did in journeyman, only using the persuasive letter format).

-If you did not like the ending of the book, write a different ending.  Bring it to class and be prepared to share why your ending would be better (be prepared to discuss/defend your point).

-Hawthorne is known for his ability to write excellently in symbolism. Look for possible symbols in the book and write down what they might symbolize. Bring a symbol to help you remember a lesson (principle) you learned from reading the book (you can make one). 

-Choose your own way to teach us a principle you learned from reading this book.
