    1.    Surf the Internet to see the different online activities devoted to The Old Man and the Sea. Once you have an idea of the many ways the developers have chosen to explore this novella, create your own Web site, chat room, bulletin board, photo and/or illustration gallery, Web movie, or other online activity to introduce The Old Man and the Sea to other readers. Endeavor to come up with an approach that will attract a new segment of the online audience.

    2.    Recast a scene from the novella, presenting similar themes and messages but as part of a contemporary story, in a location with which you are familiar, with characters you might meet in your everyday life. Write the scene as if it were part of a new work of fiction or dramatize the scene as if it were part of a new play.
