HS: Multicultural Novel Portfolio ideas?

[Bonnie Fulmer <GBF1@MARISTB.MARIST.EDU>]

Dear Netters,
     I have an English teacher who is looking for creative ideas
for a multicultural novel portfolio.  The students are English
11 Honors level students.  They have been asked to read a novel
written by a minority reflecting life in America, such as Wright's
Native Son, or Cisneros' House on Mango Street.  She would like them
to have a portfolio of four or five written or artistic entries
such as a poem, or a letter to a character.  This is not a
semester project.  Do your teachers have any creative ideas
to share?
     Thanks for any help!
