1. Study your vocab roots! There will be matching, multiple choice, and/or sentence-writing prompts.
2. Create the Google Doc for your self-assessment. Title it "[First] [Last] Accomplishments [period]," and share it with me.
In that document, list everything you've done / accomplished / learned this year in this English class! For ideas / evidence, examine...
* Your brain
* The class blog
* The assignment blog
* Your folder
* Your journal
This is a prewrite for the final--the more you can list today, the easier the final will be!

preparing for the final Literature Circle art project
9th English Final Project, Winter 2012
Your task is to artistically or creatively represent your experience as a reader and thinker during this literature circle project—and, on the day of the final, to share that learning with your classmates in an informal conversation, as you proudly share your work.
What are some ways you might achieve this?
You might…
• Create a poster-sized collage of the most memorable characters from your book
• Create a poster-sized timeline of your reading experience (what you thought about, connections you made, etc.)
• Create an abstract artwork that expresses themes from the book
• Write a series of poems that are inspired by the book
• Write a short story based on a character from your book, sharing an excerpt with us
• Draw a fantastic comic strip based on your book (at least 20 panels)
• Do something else that works, approved by Mr. Anderson
You must include a 1-page written explanation of your piece (i.e., 200-300 words explaining your thought process, your artistic choices, etc.)
The kind of project you choose will determine the materials you’ll need. Start your initial planning below:
Things I’ve Learned or Experienced as a Reader
Favorite Moments / Thoughts About the Book
Preferred Project Type
Materials Needed (Poster paper, markers, etc.)
