CP Extra Credit - 5th Six Weeks

We have read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and watched two versions of Alice in Wonderland. Based on these 3 things, which of the two movies portray the original story better? Why? (Answer must be at least two paragraphs long in order to receive credit.)

AP Extra Credit - 5th Six Weeks

There are two options for this extra credit, choose only one!

1. Write an extended stanza or two for either "The Lady of Shalott", "My Last Duchess", or "Porphyria's Lover". In your extended stanza inform the reader of what happened to the main characters of the poem.
2. Choose a Shakespearean Sonnet that we haven't read. Post it and then write a short paragraph paraphrasing the sonnet you have chosen.

Remember you can only choose one option for extra credit. Good luck and have fun with it. :)
