Project is due ___________. You must present your project on a book you have finished between the dates of __________________. If you have not finished a book by the project due date, you will receive a POW, and 10% will be deducted from your score. You will still be required to present your project even if it is late.
Every presentation must include the following:

· one challenge the main character(s) face
· how the main character responds to the challenge

Information must be written on note cards. Be sure to practice reading in front of someone before presenting. Try not to read straight from the cards. Practice and then practice some more.
Choose one of the following to include in your presentation:
· three items in a bag that relate to the story- you must explain how the objects relate to your book
· movie poster you create that represents an event from the story- you must explain how the movie poster relates to your story
· two or three PowerPoint slides with pictures that relate to the story-you must explain how the pictures relate to the story (PowerPoint must be saved to a flash drive and brought to class)
· create a book mobile using a wire clothes hanger- attach at least five pictures (hand drawn or printed from computer) or items that represent the book. Be prepared to explain how each picture or item relates to the book
I would like to keep the book mobiles to hang in the classroom. Please do not attach anything to the book mobiles that is of personal value.
