Don't forget that your book projects are due on the same day as your Odyssey test - the 21st for A day and the 24th for B day. Your project options are as follows:
1. You are to do a pamphlet for your book. I have samples that you can look at Requirements are as follows:
• a two-fold pamphlet (both sides of the pamphlet will be divided into thirds)
• cover should have title, artwork, author’s name, publishing company, price, etc…
• inside, on the first third, you should have a summary (don’t give away surprise endings)
• most of the inside (the other two-thirds) should be discussion points/questions
• the back should have an “about the author” section as well as recommended reading – books with similar themes, other books by this author.
2. You are to write a letter to the author of your book. Initiate a conversation with him/her. Ask questions; respond to the novel (characters, events, themes, symbols, etc.). Whatever you do, do not summarize the plot – the author already knows it. Show the author that you have read this book, that you have thought about the book, and that you are a very perceptive reader. You do not have to like everything about the book; you may even dislike aspects of it. Remember your audience, however; it is the author. Think of how you yourself would respond best to someone’s questions or dialogue.

i'm not going to be here the 21st 24th or 25th b/c i'm going to be out of town is there anyway that we can work something out in order for me to still recieve full credit for my work...and what about my test?
Come and talk to me on Monday and we can see what we can work out.
On the blog it talks about the discussion points/questions for the pamphlet... what are those supposed to be? Could you give an example from the odyssey or something to make it more clear?
Something like -
What is the importance of Athena's relationship to Odysseus in The Odyssey.
Think about higher level thinking and discussion questions.
but what are the questions? i can't find them
yeah jack! i was confused too! i wasn't sure if Mr Miller passed out a sheet that had questions on them or something that I didn't receive because the pamphlets you showed us seemed to have the same questions.
You're supposed to make them up yourself. I never gave out suggestions for questions or discussion points.
Does this answer the question?
i can i write the price and company on the back or something?
Please follow the instructions.
are the discussion points and questions kind of the same thing?

For the letter to the author, does it have to be typed? Or can it be written in pen?
Either option is fine. I would prefer typed.
how long does option #2 have to be?

For the pamphlet can we type some of it if our hand writing is bad?

i know this is kind of late but what are we supposed to put on the flap that is if you were looking at the back of it would be the far left one of our pamphlet... you dont tell us to put anyhting there and it would look wierd if it was blank
