In the Schoolhouse Library you will find a link called MOOzymandias, a MOO-based interpretation of Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem of the same name. For this unit's final project, you will work collaboratively with other students to produce a similar MOO-based interpretation of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere."

1. A Mariner room has been placed in the Schoolhouse Library. This room contains a series of seven smaller rooms, each of which is devoted to one of the sections of Coleridge's poem, a ballad in seven parts. If you look at these rooms, you will find that each already contains two objects: a Questions object and a link to the section of the poem that the room interprets.

2. Pick the section of the poem on which you want to work; come up with three critical questions that are raised by that section of the ballad. For example, questions might address issues concerning the speaker of the poem, the importance of key symbols and places in the poem, the poem's political references, and the importance of the poem's form or structure. Once you have formulated your questions, you will work in groups with other students both in-class and on-line in the Villa Diodati to pick the best student-generated questions about your section of the poem. These questions will be posted by your teacher to the Questions object of your section's room.

3. Once the critical questions for each room have been posted, it will be time for you to start imagining your own MOO objects that provide answers to the questions. Provide written descriptions of the objects that you imagine. After completing this assignment, use the MOO Object editor to turn what you have imagined into actual MOO objects and place them in the MOO.
