Creative Expressions Assignment:

For the Creative Expressions Assignment, students are required to create some work that represents their reaction to "Sounds of the River." Explain to students that they can consider how this book relates to their personal, social, or academic life. Project submissions are due in class on the week of September 21st.

The two broad categories in which we group these assignments are:
Written word: Submissions in this category may include essays, poems, and short stories
Artistic Expressions: Submissions in this category may include paintings, drawings, collages, songs, videos, and animations

You will select one winner in your class for each of these categories. Please collect all submissions and forward the winning submissions to your UGC Advisor. A number of winning submissions from each Undergraduate College will be invited to attend a luncheon with Da Chen on Undergraduate College Commons Day.

Themes from the book that correspond to the first year experience
