English 10: Today students were given a visualization assignment for "The Sniper".  The assignment is due on Tuesday. One of the themes of this story is that war is unnecessary, especially when we are fighting our own countrymen - our brothers.  The key scene that expresses this message is the end.  Think about this scene and create a visual representation of the scene. This can be hand drawn, pencil sketch or in colour.  If  you prefer not to draw, you can create the scene using programs such as Microsoft Paint, photoshop, or picnik.  The key is that it must be created by you. On the back of the visualization, please write a paragraph identifying how your visualization represents the theme of the story.

English 10:  If you have been absent this week, it is important for you to read "The Sniper" on your own time.  I am including a copy of the story in the web links.
