One Week!

Dear Students,
    If you missed your Shakespeare project, you should plan on coming to flex tomorrow (Wednesday) to make it up.
    You have ONE WEEK before your book report is due. If you have not looked at the projects, you should consult this link Your book report must show that you read the book---it shows what you know about the book. It is ALL you are turning it for your book report. Whatever you do, it is your report. MAKE IT GOOD. It's what you will get your grade on. 
    The BOOK REPORT CREATIVE PROJECT is due March 7th (A) or March 8th (B). Some of you will be gone on a tour on March 8th. I expect you to turn it in BEFORE YOU GO, not after.
    You will be graded out of 100 points. 50 of those points are for completing the reading. 50 of the points are for the project:
20 points are for how well the project reflects the book (does it actually TELL the story of the book JUST BY LOOKING AT IT)
10 points are for how well the project is completed (Does it LOOK good)
10 points for following the directions of the assignment: (Does the project do what it's supposed to do--if it's an obituary, does it look JUST like one in a news paper? If it's a Facebook timeline, does it look exactly like a timeline? If it's a day-in-the-life, is it accurate for the time period and place?)
10 points for capturing the characters/the theme/tone of the book.
