2019 Literary Classics Ball
Literary Classics Ball For 2018 – 2019
It is time for our Annual Costume Ball! The theme this year is a Literary Ball. The literary work should have been written before 1970.
There are a few guidelines for your character selection. They are as follows:
The literary work must have been written before 1970.
All characters must be human. (No monsters, vampires, or animals.)
Select characters from books not authors of books.
Each Character must be submitted for approval and will be awarded on a first come basis. Please submit at least three characters in case your first choice is already taken. Submissions may be submitted no earlier than November 4 at 10:00 PM.
Submit character request to [email protected]. The characters will be awarded based on the order they appear in the mail box.
Who is invited?
The guest list is limited to all students currently enrolled in World View Classes, associate classes, and alumni of the Classes. Alumni may bring a guest. Parents are also welcome and encouraged to attend, but costumes are required for all guests.
From time to time we do invite special guest to attend our Balls. If you have a guest in mind that would enjoy our Ball, please check with Mr. Tillman. All Special guest must be approved by Mr. Tillman.
The Assignment:
Each student will research and recreate a literary character from a literary work fulfilling the requirements given above. All students will write a one to two page book report due January 3, 2011. The outline of the book report is as follows:
I. Introduce book and author. Give bibliographic information on the book.
II. Give a plot summary of the book in one paragraph.
III. Make a character list of the main characters of the book. No more than ten characters should be included. List the character name and three or four sentences describing that character.
IV. In one paragraph, describe your character's role in the book.
Some students will not be able to attend due to conflicts in their schedules. Those students are still required to research a character and write the book report. Alumni and parents attending the Ball are asked to conform to the guidelines of the characters, but will not be required to turn in book reports.
