2nd Quarter - Literary Elements Flip Book
(FICTION - see requirements)
PLEASE make sure that you realize that NOT doing the project (or doing it poorly), may potentially result in dropping you an entire letter grade. For example, a 79% C may become a 69% D. YOU MUST READ AND DO THE PROJECT in order to maintain your grade!
STEP 1 = BOOK DECLARATION
Step 1 is to complete a book declaration (50 points). This tells me which book you would like approved in advance. (Read the requirements on the form carefully! This quarter you MUST choose a book that is fiction - not real / fake. You will need to finish the entire book so do not choose something larger than you can finish in 3 weeks.) Its purpose is for me to make sure that the book you would like to read actually fits the requirements BEFORE you start reading it and working on your project. That way you waste no time. You can still do the project without having completed the declaration BUT you get a 0% for the declaration (loss of 50 point assignment grade) and risk your book not being accepted (0% project grade = loss of entire letter grade) because you weren't paying attention to the requirements.

STEP 2 = PROJECT: Literary Elements Flip Book
Right now, you need to pick out your book for this quarter! All the same rules apply (middle to high school level, appropriate, mostly words, not mostly pictures, a book you have never read before and are not reading in class) BUT this quarter you must choose a FICTION book. Fiction is text that is not real / fake. There are lots of different types of fiction: realistic fiction, historical fiction, science fiction, etc. I don't care which type of fiction that you choose.
Come with the title of the book and author on Monday/Tuesday in order to fill out and turn in your book declaration. START READING NOW!!! (The requirements were very clear so you should be aware of whether or not it will be accepted.) We will go over the project in a couple weeks but you can't do the project if you have not read the book.
If you are having trouble coming up with a book, visit last quarter's link on how to find a good book... (Don't forget that I have a small selection for check out if you get really desperate. Talk to me before you take one though.)
