ENGLISH IV--Literature Circles Project

MAKE YOUR BOOK INTO A MOVIE!

I gave out the literature circles assessment today in class. If you missed class, you will need to get with your group to figure out what you need to do. Here's a list of the parts of the project:

Movie Poster Design: Sketch out your poster design on a normal sized sheet of white paper. Be sure to give me something that will entice me to coming to see your movie!

Soundtrack Design: Design a list of songs that would fit the action sequences in your book. List the songs, the artists, and the order that they would be used in the movie. Type this.

Script Writing Sample: Choose one scene from your book to translate into a script. Be sure to use the proper format and include stage directions. Type this.

Set Design: Take the scene that you wrote a script for and design a set to be used. You may either sketch this out or make a three-dimensional model.

Book Review: Type a one page reaction to your book. THIS IS NOT A SUMMARY. Tell me if you liked it or dislike it and why. Point out parts that you could relate to or parts that seemed too far-fetched.

Presentation: On September 8th, you will present one part of your project to the class. Everything should be done on this date.

DEADLINES: All books should be finished no later than Tuesday, August 24th. You will have a team meeting Thursday, August 26th. Projects are due September 8th.
