Multi-Genre Book Project #3
Pages ___ - end / 100 Points Possible
All of the information included in these genres must be from the final 1/3 of your novel.
Section 1: Long-Written
(Choose ONE of the following choices - you do not need to do both.)
Newspaper / Magazine / Tabloid:
There have been events in the last 1/3 of your book that would make interesting stories for others to read about - of course that's why a book was written about them. Think what some of these events would sound like if they were written as an article in a newspaper, magazine, or tabloid. Each of these articles would state the facts of the events very differently. Choose one event from your novel, and write an article about your character and his/her situation during the event. Please remember that your article . . .
. . . must be written in the style of the paper you choose (newspaper, magazine, tabloid).
. . . must be formatted as a magazine or newspaper with columns, pictures, etc.
. . . must be at least one page singled spaced (typed is best).
. . . must focus on a main event from the last 1/3 of your book.
. . . must include a photo (color for tabloid or magazine, black and white for
newspaper).
. . . must include the name of the newspaper, magazine or tabloid (you get to make
up the name).
What If... Character in Spanish Fork:
Imagine that your character was suddenly and without warning pulled out of their environment and put here in Spanish Fork Middle School. Their knowledge and their personality wouldn't change at all; they would simply be in a different setting - yours. What would a day at our school be like for your character? What kinds of things would your character not understand? Who would your character be friends with? What classes would your character love or hate? Write about a day in your character's life if he/she came here. Remember that your paper . . .
. . . must reflect your character's personality and knowledge.
. . . must show your understanding of how different settings change situations.
. . . must be creative and show significant thought.
. . . must be at least one page, single spaced (typed is best).
Section 2: Arts
Rules of Society:
Every story centers around rules or expectations placed on a person. These can be family rules, school rules, laws, rules of survival, etc. Your job for this part of the project is to create a rule book that contains at least 10 rules of society from your book. Please remember that your rules . . .
. . . must include the rules and consequences if they are broken (use complete sentences please).
. . . must be written like a rule book.
. . . must look like a rule book.
. . . must be creatively presented.
Section 3: Short Written
(Choose ONE of the following choices - you do not need to do both.)
Obituary:
When someone dies, the announcement of their death and the life they lived is called an obituary. Obituaries are most often found in newspapers. These announcements are generally 3 to 6 paragraphs long and include many things about the way a deceased person lived his/her life. Pretend that one of the characters in your story suddenly dies (or use an actual death if one occurred in your novel). Then write an obituary for a character in your book. Please remember that your obituary . . .
. . . must have a picture of the character and say where they were from.
. . . must mention how old the character was, and how they died.
. . . must include the names of spouses, children, etc. left behind (make them up if not known).
. . . must tell about the character's life and what contributions he/she made.
. . . must look like an obituary (be 3-6 paragraphs long and have skinny columns).
Brochure:
A brochure is a way of showing off a particular place through a colorful advertisement. Many vacation planners have brochures that show fun things to do when you visit their destination. Your job for this part of the project is to create a brochure for a place mentioned in your book. Perhaps you could choose the most exciting setting from your book, the setting most likely to attract tourists, or the place in the book you know the most about, and then create a brochure advertising this place. Please remember that your brochure . . .
. . . must include all basic information (location, activities, costs, etc.).
. . . must look like a brochure (folded, skinny columns, several pictures, etc.).
. . . must be in color.
. . . must fill at least both sides of one piece of paper.
