AP Lit: Design a Word Blog Post

Design a Word:  After working with Shelley's Frankenstein, Keat's "Ode to a Grecian Urn" and Byron's "Prometheus," take a look at this link to UnderConsideration's Word It project.

http://www.underconsideration.com/wordit/

Look across those three works and identify a word that surfaces, emerges, captures them all and then . . .

Design a Word.

You may want to incorporate the word into your design, but you may not.  It is completely up to you.
Include a rationale explaining your choices.

or Another Character from Speak Besides Melinda

Criteria	Evidence of Exceeding the Standard (clever, insightful, unique, powerful, creative, meaningful, professional)	What Meeting the Standard Looks Like	Evidence of Needs for Improvement (gaps, missing pieces or evidence, incomplete thoughts)
Prototype Quality (MEDIA)		I like how your prototype looks like a finished product that you can present to the class; I like how there are no obvious signs that you didn’t get it finished -- even though there may be ways in which you might improve it; I like that it shows evidence you understand how to use the media you chose to solve the problem in an effective way
Research and Connections (RESEARCH/READING)		I like how your prototype clearly shows numerous accurate connections to your research (text, video, audio); I like how your explanations include page numbers/time stamps and quoted text as evidence to show that you really know what you are talking about; I like how you wrote or recorded your explanations;
PRESENTATION (LISTENING & SPEAKING)		I like how your presentation was clear and easily understood; even if you weren’t working from a script, you seemed very well prepared and comfortable sharing the information about your sanctuary;  you were able to field and answer questions asked about your sanctuary design
MUGS (MUGS)		I like how any writing included is properly spelled and features proper use of any words on Commonly Mistaken Words 1
Empathy (HABITS of MIND)		I like how you clearly show an understanding of your user’s needs and how to meet them; I like how you connect your ideas in your sanctuary to the needs of your user you were able to identify from your research
Timeliness (HABITS of MIND)		I like how you turned it in within 24 hours of the agreed upon due date
