HW for Friday, 2/10

Look at today's Warm Up/Directions.  Did you get through step 3?  If not, complete that step this weekend.

AND

Work on your IRP! It's due Friday, 2/17 (we'll do the vocab quiz on Thursday next week so we'll have plenty of time to do the IRPs on Friday).

(PLEASE NOTE: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THE IRP SUMMARY -- the 4-5 paragraph summary of the book -- THIS SESSION.  HOWEVER, YOU MAY DO IT FOR EXTRA CREDIT.)
See detailed project instructions below:
Don't forget the gallery card (here's a link to a sample gallery card).

Creative Project:

Come up with some way to visually present your book. This will not be presented orally. You will post this in the classroom gallery‐style. Your creative project should include a gallery card –with one typed paragraph that briefly summarizes your book and a second paragraph that gives your project a creative title and explains your projects’ significance to the book. Your gallery card should also include any necessary instructions for the viewer on how to interact with your work.

Some ideas . . .

• a diorama of a particular scene
• if there’s a movie version of your book, choose a short scene to que up; you should also print the exerpt from the book and your gallery card should explain how the two scenes (movie and book) are similar and/or different
• create a website about your book that students can go through on their own
• a power point presentation that students can go through on their own
• a board game that two students could play on their own—directions should be simple and printed out
• if food is important in your book, cook something that’s mentioned and bring that in for everyone to try—make sure it is clear why this is relevant to the content of your book
• draw portraits of the main characters or draw important scenes from the book

These projects should be neat and well‐put together, not something you work on the night before it’s due!
