 * 1) Choose 1 constraint in Janie's life (racism, poverty, gender discrimination, absence of voice in the world, etc.) and then select 3 different events in the novel that illustrate that particular constraint. Summarize those events focusing on Janie's struggle with that 1 issue you have chosen, and how she responds.
 * 2) Write reflectively about the chosen constraint and how it restricts you in your own life. Use details to share 3 different examples of how you have been limited by that particular constraint and how you reacted. Have you overcome these limitations or are you still affected by them? How?
 * 3) Focusing on the same constraint, find 3 examples of that particular issue in recent events in our world from different media resources. Summarize the events surrounding those examples, noting the sources. Analyse the similarities and differences between the 3 events.
 * 4) Write an introduction to discuss what you are presenting in your body of work. The introduction will include at least 2 of the following affects on your web page to further aid in sharing your reflections with your readers: music, illustrations, photos, video clips, sound bites,or other appropriate media you wish to add.
 * 5) Finally, write a conclusion, sharing insights of what you have noticed about yourself and the world in the process of this project, in relation to the struggles Janie faced in the novel. Comment on each of the areas above to draw your insights together.
