   Book Project:  The Puzzle

Due date: March 2

    You will be using a mystery book for this project.  You are being given a small poster board and a baggie.  These are the materials to be used for the report.  Lost or ruined materials will not be replaced by the school, so be careful.  This book project must be original work.  Pictures printed off of your computer will not be accepted.  Your work should be in color using crayons, markers, or colored pencil.  Work done in pen or pencil will not be accepted.  There should not be large white areas on your completed work.  Do not glue any 3D items on the poster board.  It is best if you do all the work before you cut the puzzle into pieces.  The puzzle must be cut into at least 20 pieces but not more than 25 pieces.  The pieces do not need to be in fancy shapes, but using all squares does make it hard to put the puzzle together.  You can have help with the cutting from an adult if you need it.  Write your name on the baggie, write your initials on the back of each puzzle piece, and put the pieces into the baggie to hand the puzzle in.  You will be putting your puzzle together in school and will also have the chance to work other people’s puzzles.

Requirements:

Book title & Author

At least two scenes from the book.

At least two important sentences or phrases from the book.

Grading:

*Presentation-30 pts.

It is colorful and neat.  No sloppy work!!

*Mechanics- 20 pts.

Spelling, punctuation, capitalization, sentence structure.

*Effort- 10 pts.

Late puzzles will lose all effort points and then 5 more pts. per day until handed in.
