Patchwork Girl Web Project

Assignment: Create a web page or a series of web pages that examines critically and performatively the topic assigned to your group. This means that you must both discuss your subject in the (un)usual academic way and enact what happens with that subject in the novel. 

For examples, please visit parts of a serial essay I am working on for one of my own classes: http://web.nwe.ufl.edu/~lhager/cixous&derrida/derridavomit.html or http://web.nwe.ufl.edu/~lhager/cixous&derrida/shadow.html

Feel free to reference/quote both Jackson's Patchwork Girl and other readings we have done this semester. Don't forget the works cited for your images and quotations. This assignment will be worth two quiz grades and is due after the first half of class on Tuesday.
