Song Project - December 2010
Kino carries on the tradition of his family and his tribe by singing songs. Throughout The Pearl we hear motifs like the Song of the Family, the Song of Evil, and the Song of the Pearl That Might Be.

In small groups, you will write a **song** from the point of view of a character or symbol from //The Pearl//. Your song will be composed of 3 original stanzas (4 lines minimum in each) and 2 choruses.

Your song will also need to include:

- 1 simile - 1 metaphor - 1 symbol

You will then design an **album cover** for your song. The cover needs to be neat, colorful, and creative. Each section will need to demonstrate effort and originality.

**THE FRONT:** The front will display your… - song title - artist names - and a image that represents your song. **THE FRONT INSIDE:** This section will list 3 different examples of conflict found in the novel (ex: Character vs. Nature). For each example of conflict you will write a three-sentence explanation. **THE BACK INSIDE:** This section will include a “wordle” collage about one of the novel’s principle characters. The collage needs to include at least 10 words. **THE BACK:** You will identify a theme of the novel and give three examples of that theme. Each example must be written in a complete sentence.
