** The three cups ** ** Creative projecT **

Directions: Congratulations! You’ve completed reading Greg Mortenson’s book, “Three Cups of Tea”. Now it’s your turn to get creative and reflect on the reading. As you learned, there is significance behind the three cups of tea. You are to examine the meaning behind what each cup of tea offers, and then cite specific examples throughout the text that granted Greg Mortenson access to each cup. This is a creative project, so use any of the following examples to create your project:


 * Poster, PowerPoint, Comic Strip, or Short Scripted Performance
