Shemira's proposal

Like I mentioned before in my blog,  for the writing assignment I would like to create some form of scrapbook describing the characters of the books we read, conflicts they are faced with and the solutions they come up with to overcome their challenges. I am also thinking about including the important historical events that surround the characters of the books and write a brief description of the actual events. Doing this will help me understand and learn the material we are provided with a lot better.

What I am trying to accomplish in with this scrapbook will require some outside research from my part, so for the first paper/entry that I will write I will use sources like the internet, the books about the history of Czechoslovakia from the library and Havel's book. 

I haven't really finalized whether I will hand write this scrapbook or type it up using one of the digital applications you mention. The main reason why I haven't finalized this is because I want to make this scrapbook unique and enjoyable for myself and others to see. 

I will try to  have my first entry of at least two pages by next Thursday. This will help me get started in this project and will give both you a better idea of what i would like to do for my writing assignment and will show me if it is the right form to approach this assignment. 

For the assessment part of this writing assignment, i would really like if you would grade me based on the effort, creativity and information I provide you with in my papers. If it is not too much to ask I would rather have some type of letter or number grading scale, this is just so I can have a better idea of how i am doing in your class and so I can keep track of my grade.

Thank you in advance and I am really sorry I didn't email this to you yesterday but I was a little confused as to what we were supposed to do.
