projects


 * Artifact:** You will create an artifact which represents a character or theme in one of the novels we have read. This artifact is to be handmade and must represent a significant amount of thought and work. You may use paper, but only if you use the paper in a creative way. For this assignment, I would expect you to use fiber, wood, glass, recycled materials, etc. Pictures cut out of magazines and arranged in a collage fashion will not do here. Get creative.


 * Book Trailer:** You will use an electronic program such as Photostory, MovieMaker, iMovie, or Animoto to create a trailer to advertise/tease a book (think movie trailer, but for a book). This trailer will be at least three minutes in length and must entice readers to want to read the book. You may choose any book we have read over the course of the second half of the semester.
