Independent Reading 2011 -2012

Each month a book will be chosen to be read and a special project will be completed.

Some months the students will make the book selection. Other times the genre will be chosen by the teacher. A few examples may include mystery, fantasy, historical fiction, biography, and non-fiction. Some months the projects will be selected by the teacher and during other months, the students will make a choice.

 February's book selection is a book of your choice. Please have it approved. The project is one of three choices. It is due on Wednesday, February 29th.

Design a Movie Poster    

Cast the major characters in the book with real actors and actresses. It should include the following: the name of the book and the author, a scene and dialogue from the book, and a caption to encourage people to want to see the movie.

Read a Monologue

Pretend you are one of the characters in the book. Prepare a speech as that person telling about his or her experiences in the story. You should include a script  of about one and a half pages. Rehearsal time should be spent at home to help prepare you to include expression in your voice when reading it to the class.                                                                                     

Describe the plot of your story through picture

Complete a series of six to eight drawings that show the major events of the story. It should include: drawings on ten inch squares, captions on each square so the illustrations can be understood by someone who hasn't read the book, an extra  square should include the title and author, and all the squares should be held together by a metal ring or fastener.

Be sure your name is on the project.

 Happy reading!
