3rd Quarter AR Project - Due Jan 25/26

If your student is planning to work ahead, this is the first AR Project of 3rd Quarter. It will be due on January 25/26. 

For this project, you will need to read one book. It can be either fiction or non-fiction. After you finish the book, you have the option of completing one of three projects:

1. Create a new ending for your book – You should first summarize the original (1 paragraph at least), then offer your new version (3 paragraphs), and finally explain why you like your version better (1 paragraph). The paragraphs should be 5-10 sentences and well developed. Think about what makes a good ending for a book and be sure to discuss what happens to all of your main characters – not just one of them. Make sure your ending seems appropriate and fits with the rest of the book. You’ll be graded on meeting all requirements, having good details, being neat and legible, using correct grammar and punctuation, and appearing original and interesting.

2. Create an attractive book jacket for your book. You will need to design a cover that features the title, author and appropriate images. You will also need to include at least one paragraph of information about the author and a four-paragraph summary of the book on the back cover. The paragraphs should be 5-10 sentences and well developed. Make sure you examine other book jackets to learn the appropriate placement of author information and summary. You’ll be graded on meeting all requirements, having an attractive and colorful appearance, being neat and legible, using correct grammar and punctuation, and appearing original and interesting.

3. Select one of the major characters from your book. You should write six diary entries that discuss your character’s reactions to what is happening to him or her in the book. Each diary entry should be at least two paragraphs. The paragraphs should be 5-10 sentences and well developed. You’ll be graded on meeting all requirements, having good details, being neat and legible, using correct grammar and punctuation, and appearing original and interesting.

All projects should include the full title of the book and the author’s name somewhere on the project. Please see me if you have any questions on your options. Good luck!
