I hope that everyone had a great time at the grade nine retreat. Don't forget that your final project is due at Thursday's class. Here is a list of options one more time. I am in the library all day Wednesday if you have any questions.
Please complete one of these activities when you are finished reading your book. You are responsible for completing ONE of the these by Thursday, October 30. (This means that you need to have your book read by that time!) / 30 marks
1. Pretend that you are one of the characters. Prepare a 1-minute monologue about something that is happening in your life. Perform your monologue for the class. Dress the part!
2. Choose an incident from the novel and pretending that you are a newspaper reporter, write a in-depth newspaper account of the incident (200 words). Remember to include a headline as well as the “who, what, when, where, why and how”.
3. Create a new cover for this novel, illustrating a key scene in the story. Make sure that you include the title and the author’s name on the cover page. Remember that a every book has a front cover, back cover, and a spine. In addition, inside the front cover, a very short summary of the book is given. Inside the back cover, personal information about the author is given.
4. Write a sequel for your novel (200 words). How will the main character’s life change? Will they live a long time? Will they have new adventures? Will their friends stay the same? Explain with details.
5. Compare this novel with another novel you have already read. Find at least 3 similarities and 3 differences (200 words).
