Altogether, there will be 10 interpretive papers in each portfolio, but no paper can focus on a primary text already covered by another one in your group. Here you need to have a thesis (ca. 1/2 page), an argument (ca. 2 pp.), and a conclusion (ca. 1/2 p.). Specifically identify each section, such as: Thesis, etc. Each student signs his/her work to be included into the portfolio. Each student submits his/her work also to D2L. Spread the submissions online to D2L throughout the semester, which the group leader needs to supervise (see the report assignment in the syllabus). Total points for assignment per student: Max. 50 pts.

It can be a portrait, an image from a manuscript with the text, or the musical scores, a sculpture, ivory, tapestry, fresco, or architecture. Do not only rely on the web. At least two pairs within your group of ten students must use an image from a printed book. No duplication, talk with the rest of your group. Each pair has to work on a unique image. Each pair must comment on the relevance, meaning, and content of their image pertinent to our text discussed in class (no duplication within your group of ten). The group must decide on its own who will resort to an image available electronically, who will examine an image in print-format. Both students in the pair must sign. Text must be at least 1 p. Submit the image together with the text to D2L, and later also add it in printed format to your portfolio. 50 pts. One designated person, other than the group leader and the designated person for assignment no. 2 is in charge of compiling the images and making sure that no duplication has occurred. 10 points extra credit.
