Imagine what Jefferson must be experiencing inside his cell. He is caged like a hog and has little in his possession. Occasionally, he is visited by guards, family, and friends. He knows the date of his death.
Create a life box for Jefferson. A character life box is a grouping of thoughtfully chosen items that would be particularly significant to or representative of a character in a work of literature. Use the following guidelines:
• Choose six items your character might use daily, have as a keepsake, or be represented by in some fashion.
• Find a quotation from the text that would justify each item. The passage can either be spoken by your character or another character in the book. Attach the quotations in some fashion to each item using a tag and string, a staple, or a paperclip.
• Place the items in a container of some sort--- a shoebox, shopping bag, gift box, and decorated in a manner representative of your chose character.
Once all life boxes have been created, you will present your choices and justifications for each to the class on Monday, March 14, 2016.
Have fun!!
