The first AR projects of second quarter have just been turned in. The A-Z lists were fantastic, and I was so very impressed at the number of students who went above and beyond and turned their list into books, PowerPoints, or added illustrations to their final products. Great work!
The second and final project of the quarter will be due on Dec 8/9. Many students have already made substantial reading progress. In fact, there are quite a few students who are actually reading books for projects in the third and fourth quarter. Below is the project explanation for the next project:
For this project, you will need to read one book. After you finish the book, you have the option of completing one of three projects:
1. After reading a book of history or historical fiction (ETA - many other types of books will work as well), create a timeline of your book and draw a map of its location. Your timeline should feature at least 10 important events of your book placed in chronological order. Your map needs to be neat, colorful, and feature at least five important places in your book.
2. Read a book that has been turned into a movie. After watching the movie, write a 2 page essay that explains the similarities and differences between the two versions. Make sure your book was a book first, and not just a copy of the screenplay of the movie. Your essay needs to be typed or written in black pen.
3. Create a sculpture of the main character from your book. You can use whatever materials you can find - soap, wood, clay, sticks, wire, stones, or any other object but you cannot use dolls, action figures, etc.. You should also attach a half page explanation of how this character changes throughout the novel.
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!
