Character and Clothing

For this blog, I would like for you to choose a character from the book and design two outfits for them.  You will be using the website called Polyvore.  You must create an account.

www.polyvore.com

On your collection page, you must have the following:

• 2 Clothing Outfits
• 2 Pairs of Shoes
• 6 Accessories
• The Name of the Character on Your Page

The outfits must truly represent the character based upon what you have read about them in the book.  
Have fun!

Interior Design

What do you think the various settings in the book may look like?  What do you envision when reading the book?  For this blog, I would like you to consider one setting (such as the party towers, dorms, David's parent's house, etc.) and create an interior design board to represent that environment.  You must support your design with at least one quote from the book that explains or gives information about the setting.  

Directions: Create the design board with at least 20 items, write a short paragraph (at least five sentences) explaining your board, and include a quote from the book to support your design choices.

Mrs. Carn's Example:

When Tally first went to David's parent's house she said that it was, "unlike any other in the Smoke.  It was like a standard crumbly home, filled with impractical objects.  A marble statuette stood in one corner, and rich rugs had been hung on the walls, lending their colors to the light in the room, softening the edges of everything."  In my design board, I tried to add the elements that Tally described.  I included a lot of ornate and interesting items because Maddy and Az seem like very unique and eccentric people.  I would imagine their home to look much like what I pictured above.  I imagine it to be one of those homes where you just keep looking at everything in it with amazement and/or wonder.

Poetry

Please go to the MOODLE page and download the "30 Days of Poetry" document.  

Pick one of the poem formats to write. 

 Then...  For this blog, I would like you to write a poem as if you were one of the characters in the book.  Be sure to explain who is the character writing the poem and what type of poem you chose.  Then either place the poem onto a picture or include a picture onto your blog.

Comic Strip

For this blog assignment, you will be recreating a scene from the Uglies into a cartoon.  You will be utilizing "ToonDoo" again (the same software we used for the Edgar Allan Poe cartoons).  After you have created the cartoon you need to save it as a picture.  Upload the picture to your blog and then explain the scene and why it is important to the book in no less than eight sentences!

Mrs. Carn's Example

 

This scene occurred towards the end of part one of the book.  I find it to be a major turning point in the book.  This scene is where Tally is awaiting becoming a "Pretty" and Shay comes back to visit her one last time.  Shay decides to run away and she asks Tally to go with her.  Tally tells her that she wants to stay and become a "Pretty".  Shay is shocked by this and upset that she didn't tell Tally her plan sooner.  I think this is the turning point because from here on out everything changes about Tally's life.  There is a ripple effect directly after - she doesn't get to become "Pretty," she is interrogated, she is forced to betray her friend, lie, and go on an unbelievably scary journey to seek out the "Smoke."  Everything about Tally's life is now different based upon her friendship with Shay and her decision not to go with Shay.  Shay entering Tally's life had some major effects - both good and bad.  This scene really starts making the story great, in my opinion.

Relate to Another Story

 

In five sentences relate the Uglies to another book you have read or movie you have watched.  How is it similar in plot, character, theme, etc.  Make sure you give specific details for both the Uglies and your comparison.  Also, include an image.

 

 

 

 

Mrs. Carn's Example:

I chose the movie "Astro Boy" because of a few reasons.  It is a very futuristic world that is ran on technology - much like the Uglies.  It also has a "dump area" for old robot parts that no one is supposed to live in that is very run down like the "ruins".  There is a group of kids there that revolt against the newer technologically advanced way of life and have runaway to this area to live.  Toby, the main character, is pulled into this world - much like Tally.
