Choice reading for American Lit- Mr. Dessert
It is expected that you will be able to pass a test on any book you read. These would just be general comprehension questions. All writing will be typed in MLA format, unless the choice made for your genre precludes typing or MLA.
The grades for choice reading will be based on the number of pages and the effort put into your project. I am willing to negotiate the project with you, if you find something that is interesting and worthy of your effort.
Sample ideas:
Letter to the author- Teacher would like to see this before it is sent.
Acting out a scene- This could incorporate more than one person’s project.
Artwork- Include some writing to explain or explore the artwork.
Movie trailer- design and act out in class, or film. Maybe upload to youtube.
Poster- This should not be just a bunch of pictures. Arrange and explain the reason for the arrangement in a paragraph or two.
True color essay- Pick three colors and three shapes to explain the character. Write a paper explaining each choice.
Contrast the movie with the book essay.
Choose something and get it okayed with the teacher.
Due date seniors: Thursday, May 28, 2015 even if you don’t have class that day.
