NOTE: Independent book project indefinitely postponed.
As we've learned through literature, life rarely proceeds as planned. I hope you and your family are safe and able to stay at home. Meanwhile, I've left information on Google Classroom. I plan to post interesting articles and activities, and I'm willing to host discussions or anything else to try to keep our brains alive over the next few weeks. Independent book project Pick a book or play(s) from the list on the other side. You may have some independent reading time in class, but most of your reading will be outside of class. We will set aside two days to hold discussions about the books. After you finish reading, you will choose one of the following assignments. All assignments must register a 10 percent or less originality rating and meet the word minimum. DUE DATE: Tuesday, March 20 ADDITIONAL CHAPTER Write an additional chapter for your book. Think about what the characters would do if the story continued. This is a great opportunity to change something about the story or add action or details that you would have liked to have read. Your chapter must be 1,000 to 1,100 words. Submit to Turnitin.com before 8 a.m. Tuesday, March 10. ALTERNATIVE ENDING Rewrite the book’s ending. Did you expect something else to happen? Would the book be even better with a different ending? Should the characters have made different choices? What if fate stepped in and changed everything? Your new ending must be 1,000 to 1,100 words. Submit to Turnitin.com before 8 a.m. Tuesday, March 10. COMPARE/CONTRAST ESSAY Compare and contrast this book with another book you have read that had similar characters, events, or themes. Write a 1,000- to 1,100-word essay exploring the similarities and differences between the two books. Submit to Turnitin.com before 8 a.m. Tuesday, March 10. Assignments will be graded based on effort, creativity, and content. |
