Fiction Book Project

The book project is your response to the book that you read in English class. It is an alternative to a book report.

The Outside:

Choose any container for your book project. You may do a folder as you did for the first contract, or you may choose any other container that suits your needs. (ie. manilla envelope, paper bag, plastic bag, can with a cover, box, or any other container that you can imagine. Be creative!) Decorate the container with details appropriate to the book or container's contents.(25 pts.)

The Inside:

The inside of the container should include the following materials and activities pertaining to the book.

Questions - Write 10 questions that could be answered by reading the book that you have chosen to read for this contract. Five of the questions should be easier questions with answers that are obvious simply by reading the book. Five of the questions should be harder questions with answers that require more thinking, interpretation, and or combining of information from the book. (25 pts.) Vocabulary - A ten word glossary of unfamiliar words from the book and a short definition for each word. (25 pts.) Other - (Choose one) (25 pts.) Five items that depict the story in some way. These items may be actual items or student created facsimiles, an original game using facts or information from your book, or some other creative option that you would like to do. CLEAR THIS CHOICE WITH ME.
