"The Mazarin Stone"

Sherlock Holmes Memory Box

Sherlock Holmes Memory Box

• Instead of the standard character sketch, you are going to develop a memory box for Sherlock Holmes. You will create memorabilia based on what you have learned about him. As you read the play, think about motive.• What motivates someone to save something? • What events have occurred and what might Holmes keep to

remember these events? • What has Holmes learned during the play? • What might be kept as a result of gaining this new

knowledge? • What did Holmes care passionately about?

• You will gather at least FIVE "items". These items will be presented in a slide show. These items should show that you are familiar with the plot and the characters in "The Mazarin Stone".

On each slide will be . . .

• an illustration of one piece of memorabilia (Microsoft Design Gallery)

• a paragraph, of at least FIVE SENTENCES, that will explain the significance of the item to Sherlock Holmes

• You must create at least 55 of these slides.

Keep in mind that you are creating a memory box for this particular case.

the glass slipper

Cinderella would keep the dainty glass slipper as a reminder of the night she met her husband. It represents the love the prince had for her when he came back looking for her. It was what she lost and the prince found, that connected her to her grander future. Without the glass slipper, Cinderella wouldn't have been able to go to the ball, and she wouldn't have met the Prince. It was this meeting that released her from the drudgery and horrors of life with her step-family. The slipper represents the magic that can be created through a single evening. With the help of magic, in a figurative sense, Cinderella is able to follow her dreams.
