A Note About A Few Of The Many Different Assignments Included: There is a relationship project in this unit. This project requires students to analyze the relationships in the novel and explain how these relationships help characters to grow and change throughout the story. There are three writing assignments in this unit, each with the purpose of informing, persuading,or expressing personal opinions. The first writing assignment asks students to mimic Celie and write a personal narrative about something difficult they've endured. The second writing assignment asks students to persuade a friend to speak up for him or herself and find a voice as Celie does in the text. In the third assignment students will take on the role of a character in the novel and write from that perspective to inform others about the hardships experienced by that character.
