Students have been reading Historical Fiction books and answers questions along the way. All last week I reminded the students that all the questions needed to be done by today and I am very disappointed to see many do not have them done. They will have tonight to finish before they are marked late. Now students should start working on a project for their book. The projects will be due MONDAY 10\/31. They will have some time in class to work on however they will also need to be worked on at home. Below are the project choices.<\/p>\n

\nIllustrate your journal entries. <\/span><\/td>\n\n
\nFor each event include the date of the event, a descriptive title, a sentence or two describing the event and a picture (either drawn or printed). <\/span>
\nThe title of the book and the author should go above the timeline. <\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n \n
\nUse small toys, clay, construction paper and other materials to create your diorama. Be sure to display the title and the author somewhere on the box. Write a paragraph about your diorama explaining what is happening in the scene and why it is important to the book. <\/span><\/td>\n\n
\nYour article must include a headline, text written in columns with at least one quote from the book, a picture with a caption, and a byline. Remember that a newspaper article answers the questions: who, what, where, why, when, and how. Try to make your article look authentic. <\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
