Gospel Projects Due Next Tuesday

Your Gospel Projects are due next Tuesday.  You will be graded on the following:

50% Textual details
An excellent project will adhere to readings from your assigned Gospel and present them in a coherent way for your audience.  Coherence comes from a well-planned and drafted project that has a framework for organization (chronological, thematic, etc.).

50% Originality
A unique perspective on your Gospel (your's or a character's) takes the Gospel reading at a literal level and elevates it through your creative envisioning of the text either through your perspective or through the perspective of how a given character might have recounted events in the story.
