We finished The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
We listened to the Iron Maiden version and compared the lyrics
I assigned the following project. This is due at the end of class of Monday:
Rime of the Ancient Mariner Assignment
The Ship's Log
Every ship is supposed to have a log
book, which is filled in every day by the captain. If he dies, the next
senior officer fills it in (usually the First Mate). You should write a series of
entries for the log of the ship in the poem. For part of the voyage, these will
be written by the captain; after all the other men die, only the ancient
mariner is left to fill it in.
Storyboarding
The fantastic details in the story
are well-suited to vivid illustration. You can use a series of pictures with captions underneath to turn the
poem into either a storyboard for a film version, or as a comic strip.
Minimum 15 frames – every frame must have a caption that is a minimum of 1
complete sentence. If you choose this
option, you MUST do the drawings yourself and you CANNOT do stick figures or
oversimplified pictures. Choose this
only if you have some artistic talent.
Newspaper (and
other) reports
When the ship
leaves port, to the cheers of the sailors' friends and sweethearts, no-one has
any idea of what is to happen; but the return of the ship, its sinking in sight
of land, the strange lights seen on it, the
one survivor, his strange tale and his effect on the pilot and his boy - all
this adds up to a mystery any reporter would love to write about. Write either newspaper report
OR
an official
report of the naval authorities investigating the loss of the ship and all its crew bar one.
Minimum 30 sentences total.
