Your project: to develop a modern version of the epistolary concept
Tell part of the Dracula story through some form of modern communication/media/technology, or a combination of these. For example:
letters
graphic novel concept
Tweets
Instagram pictures
snapchat
Facebook posts
Blog/vlog
Emails
work of art
film
Use what you’re good at. If you’re an artist, you might make it a graphic novel. If you like social media, use of those. If you’re traditional, keep it truly epistolary, and write letters. There are fake facebook/instagram generators out there you can use, so you don’t have to create actual accounts.
Choose one scene from Dracula and present a modern version of that scene. NOTE: you may not choose Chs. 1-4!
Be sure to include the perspectives of various characters. Feel free to modernize the characters to suit the modern media, if you wish.
Be creative, have fun, push the lmits of the form you use.
Your final presentation must be uploaded to the discussion board. Use PowerPoint.
I am attaching an example of what a good project might look like. There are lots of ways to approach the project so yours may be quite different. However, things I’ll point out that are working well here:
1. use of both text and image
2. multiple perspectives (the comments by Dracula, for example)
3. an original, but rich, telling of the events
4. Full use of the chosen media (in this case, Instagram)
