3rd Quarter AR Project #2

The second AR project of 3rd Quarter is due on Feb 27/28: 

Rather than writing a standard book report, you will instead create a book report project that will accurately explain and describe the book that you have read. As always, this project will be equal to a test grade and should be taken seriously. 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 diorama of your book. A diorama is a 3-dimension scene from your book. It should include models of the people, places and things that made your book interesting or unique. It should focus on the main events of your book and be easy to understand. You can use whatever materials you would like to construct the diorama, but it needs to be at least as big as a shoebox. You will also need to attach a half page explanation of the scene.

2. Pretend that your book is being made into a movie. Create a movie poster that will convince others to come see the movie. Your poster should be bright, colorful and easy to understand and made on a poster board. Think about other posters you have seen. It should include a picture of the main character and other pictures or descriptions that relate to your book. Make sure to include the names of actors or actresses that might star in the movie. You will also need to attach a half page explanation of the book.

3. Write a letter to the author of your book. Explain at least two things that you did like about the book and mention at least one thing that you did not like in the book. You should give real examples from the book that showcase your point. For example, if you like the descriptions mention how the author described the autumn leaves in chapter six. When you mention something that you did not like, you should offer at least one solution to fix the problem. Your letter should be at least 1½ - 2 pages long and written in professional style.

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!
