The document outlines the process for discussing and grading a student art project interpreting a reading. It will involve 3 parts: 1) Initial discussion of how the art interprets the reading without the artist speaking; 2) The artist's explanation of their interpretation and how it relates to the reading; 3) A general discussion where others can ask the artist questions. The rubric grades the project based on the effort and time spent.

3.  Connect literature to other forms
of artistic expression
 Analyze the role the Industrial
Revolution had on literature
 Discuss and interpret a Victorian
novel

4.  Observe the reading art project in front of you
 Grade the project based on the following
rubric:
 Determine with which reading the project is
associated (do your best!)
 Make general comments about the piece

5. The discussion will be broken into three parts:
1. Initial discussion—look at how the art
work is an interpretation of a reading
(artist is not allowed to speak or even
identify himself or herself)
2. Artist’s interpretation—the artist can
explain the piece, how it relates to a
reading, etc.
3. General discussion—everyone is allowed to
ask the artist questions and pose general
questions about the piece to the class
