Novel Projects
For all of the projects, it must be evident
that time and effort were put into it. Anything that is sloppy,
messy, and appears to be last-minute work
(even if it isn’t) will lose points. Whenever possible, choose typing over
handwriting! Take your time, be creative, and do the best you can do. You also
want to choose a project that will be within your talent set, one that you find
interesting or fun, and one that you can complete before the due date.
“Online” Blog on www.Blogger.com:
option
1 – create a blog journal for the protagonist in your novel. You need to write
your
thoughts
and reactions (beyond anything included in the novel) to what is happening in
the
novel. There need to be two entries for each of the four sections to your book.
Each
entry
needs to be interesting, insightful, and detailed. A minimum of 150 - 200 words
per
entry
is required.
option
2 – create a book review for your novel. Include a picture of the cover of the
book, and
you
must include each of the following: a
summary of the plot (without giving away the
ending),
a description of each major character (including who the protagonist and
antagonist
are), the setting, and one potential theme for the novel. Total words will be
about
800 words.
PowerPoint, Prezi, or Equivalent:
Create
a presentation that can be emailed or shared with me. It needs to include the
same
information
as Online Blog Option 2. The more
artwork and creativity you use,
the
more points you will be eligible for.
Mobile:
Create a creative hanging mobile that
includes all of the information from “Online Blog
Option 2” above. Have fun with this one! The more creative you are, the more points
you
will be eligible to receive. For ideas to get you started, check out the
following sites:

Book Poster:
Create a book poster on a half-sized
poster board that includes all of the information asked
for in “Online Blog Option 2” above.
Video Trailer:
Create a video trailer for you
novel. If you have video editing software and quality filming
equipment, this might be a good
choice for you. You do not need to appear in the video, but
it would be best if you were.
Regardless, you need to be one of the key “producers” of the video,
taking care of a significant portion
of the product, whether it is doing the camera work, editing,
etc.
Other:
If you have an idea for some other
type of project, you can make a proposal to me. All proposals
must be made BEFORE Dec. 5, however;
otherwise, you have to choose one of the above options.
