**Scene from a book**

By the end of the lesson, students will have created an image that recreates a scene from a book. This poster will capture and convey the mood of the scene as well as tell a small part of the story. The project will be aligned with the Academic Lesson Plan’s skills of relate and apply, synthesis, and critical thinking.
 * Objective**

**Assignment** Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone→Fantasy→Bright and well lit vs.  Twilight→teen vampire romance→dark and moody, select lighting
 * Students will create a mindmap using the Visual Understanding Environment software** , that identifies three different aspects of the scene. Their map should be at least 2 levels deep with 3 arms at the least. Students should think about mood of the scene the and the genre of the book. For example one branch could be as such:

**Using Adobe Photoshop students will create** an 8 1/2” x 11” image. The image will convey the mood, emotion and story of the scene.
