Project
Choices:
1) Novel Museum
You
will construct a 3D museum (mini) filled with artifacts relevant to your
novel. The museum will be a literary
‘tour’ of your novel: characters, key
events, setting, objects and items from the novel, etc. You can pick certain scenes from the novel to
highlights as special exhibits in your museum, or you can have the museum be a
general “walk through” the novel. You will write a two page summary of your
museum and reasons for the artifacts inside.
2) Novel Board Game
You
will design and create a board game about your novel. Your board game will have a printed list of clear
instructions (“how to play”) and feature questions and content specifically
related to the novel. Your questions about the novel will be broken down into
different question categories, and you will use a variety of question
formats: T/F, multiple choice, short
answer, fill in the blanks, etc. You will write a two-page summary of your
board game and explain your design and content choices.
3) Novel Movie
You
will turn your novel into a movie. You
will write a professional proposal for the movie: genre, plot, choice actors, setting, target
audience, etc. In your proposal, you
will discuss which scenes you’ve altered/changed from the novel to the film,
and explain your reasons for doing so. You will also select songs for the movie
soundtrack and write a brief explanation for your choices. Finally, you will design the movie
promotional poster.
4) Graphic Novel
You
will rewrite your novel with illustrations using the comic book format. Your graphic novel will tell the story from
beginning to end, using accurate information about key characters, events,
situations, conflicts and issues from the novel. Your illustrations will be in colour, or if
black and white, great detail in shading must be used. Each illustration will be accompanied by
written text (captions) that are at least 3-4 sentences.
