Tapestry Step One

STEP ONE: Set Up

1. Create a page for the following Tapestry elements on your 


blog:

A. Tapestry proposal

B. Works cited page

2. Select an abstract noun / theme for your project concept.

A. See the list of suggestions on the class blog: 

"Tapestry Theme choices". More than one person can do 

the same concept. Feel free to propose a concept or 

theme  not on the list.

B. Once you have selected your theme concept, write the 


concept at the top of your Tapestry Proposal Page.

3. Find two (2) quotations about your concept. Do not select 


quotations by an anonymous source. The quotations should 


show different perspectives on the concept. Be sure to


include the source of each quotation on your works cited


page in proper MLA format.

A. Write both quotations on your Tapestry Proposal 


Page.

B. Write a short 50-70 word reflection for each quotation 


that answers the following two questions: What does 


each quotation mean? How do they reveal or explain two


sides of your theme concept?

C. Below each reflection, make a list of 3-5 possible texts


that might relate/reflect the ideas you began to describe


in your reflections for each quotation. (Think about what


we have read so far in class and what you might have 


read last year and on your own; think about media texts


as well).

4. Based on the feedback given to you on this work, edit and 


revise your responses and move on to STEP TWO.
