World Literature extra credit: Setting is a very important part of the story "Masque of the Red Death" by Edgar Allan Poe. Create a model, blueprint, or elaborate drawing of the setting - the inside of Prince Prospero's abbey (palace). You must use color, and it must be accurate according to the text. There also must be 2 CDs from the story printed on the project somewhere. I will be grading on accuracy, artistic effort, and the CDs. You may work with a partner or two; groups cannot be more than larger than three people. The project is worth 20 possible extra credit project points. It is due by the end of next week.
