Introduction

You, the traveler, will demonstrate what you have learned in the literature level of the campaign by composing a codex (slideshow) on a topic that correlates with the literature level. You will analyze a specific piece of literature; a poem, or a short story (found at the Reading Selections link below), and compose a slideshow displaying, analyzing, and showing a justification of your interpretation (in the form of quotes from the text). Convince your audience your interpretation is valid. In your analysis, include a short summary of the work including characters, setting, and plot. To prove your overall mastery, discuss the overall theme, the symbols and what they represent. Additionally include your interpretations of the work, what the work is criticizing, explaining, and /or demonstrating. Once again to ensure your mastery and that your interpretation is valid, use evidence from the work in the form of quotes (minimum of 4). Be sure to use proper vocabulary and terminology of the literary devices used and analyzed within the works.

The ability to analyze, extrapolate, and share data/information will be key in any industry as it shows the ability for critical and independent thinking. Likewise, it shows the development of soft skills such as using computerized presentation software, creating files, documenting source information, and being able to organize information in a coherent manner.

Objectives

In this assignment you will:

Demonstrate awareness of the scope and variety of works in the arts and humanities.

Articulate how these works express the values of the individual and society within an historical and social context.

Demonstrate an awareness of the creative process and why humans create.

Demonstrate critical thinking skills (CT), such as creative thinking, innovation, and inquiry, and analysis, evaluation, and synthesis of information.

Demonstrate communication skills (COM) such as effective development, interpretation, and expression of ideas through written and visual communication. 

• Create a mini slideshow for a piece of literature so they can see different art in multiple forms of the humanities (artwork, literature, music) which will help students to realize the there is more than just one type of literature in the world and the significance of that literature on various levels.

Assignment

You can embark on the next level of your journey in the humanities by showing you have mastered Module 5. To conquer level 5, you must present your findings by showing you have learned and interacted with elders from the literature module. Only by understanding how literary advancements shape and influence a culture will you be able to take those tools to the next level of the course of the defense of the humanities.

You will upload a slideshow presentation into Canvas for grading.
