Projects!!!!

Hello readers! Now is the time to share about your book in different media. This is where it counts a lot because this is your 2nd quarter project and it is something that will help promote the book that you just read. Choose from one of the options. Make sure to write the following.
Name, period, title and author of your book, your project choice.

Here are your choices for your project:


1.   From your novel, choose a chapter and convert it to a radio drama. Recorded version of the story--or scene from it--as a radio play. Include an announcer and sound effects.

2. Make a talking display of a book. Tape a dialogue or description about an event, scene, or character.

3. Do a dramatic reading (Reader's Theater) of a scene. Select the scene and ask friends to help read it dramatically.

4. Read a scene with special effects. Choose a particularly interesting passage and read it with a musical background or sound effects.

5. From your novel, choose a chapter and convert the chapter into a puppet show. Make simple puppets (stick puppets, finger puppets, paper bag puppets, and so on), and present the story or an exciting scene from it. Also applicable to shadow puppetry.

6. Prepare a television commercial about a book. Imagine a book is the basis for a mini-series on television. Prepare and give the television commercials that would make people watch for it. Commercial should not be less than 30 seconds but no more than 3 minutes.

Have fun!

Hello Shark and Manta Readers! We have a few days left before Christmas break but before you leave, post your readings for the remaining readings from your book. Tell me how the novel ends. Tell me if you enjoyed reading it or if you hated it. Tell me why. Elaborate on your answers. I'm looking forward to reading your post.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Please post  what you feel about a particular event on your readings on pages 76- 90. I would expect you to talk about a significant event in your readings and you could either tell me how it makes you feel... perhaps angry, upset, happy or mad and support your feelings but giving personal examples.
