1st QUARTER BOOK PROJECT
DUE: Tuesday, October 1st
Reminder: The book project is the only assignment that is not accepted for late credit (see English policy letter signed by student/parent). The project must be in class on the due date so that we can work with the project. Weekly assignments are created so that students can finish the project on time with little stress. Students may use the computer lab during lunch or after school and can print for free.
Objective: Plot
Structure and Plot Sequencing
Instructions:
Create a board game that represents 15 main events from
your novel in the
order they occurred in the story. Include and label
events from the exposition, complications, climax
and resolution.
Requirements: (check off
as you complete)
Decorate a box
to put your game in. On the outside of
the box include:
o The name of your game (typed, capitalized
properly)
o Your first and last name (typed)
o Your class period (typed)
o The title of your book, capitalized
properly and underlined (typed)
o The author of your book, capitalized
properly (typed)
Develop a rule sheet to put inside the
box. Include:
- Number of players; How to Get
Started; Rules (How to Play); How to Win
- The name of the game must go at the
top of your rule sheet
- Rule sheet must be typed – any font
size and style you wish
Create the game
pieces to put inside the box:
- How many players can play your
game? Create game pieces for each
player. Game pieces must be related to the book, so get creative! Suggestions for pieces: characters from the book, objects from
the book (tape or glue them to existing pieces you already have)
Create the game
board to put inside the box.
- Use any types of materials you wish. Make it fun and colorful!
- Create squares to move your game
pieces from the start of the game to the end.
- Along the way, type and glue a
minimum of 15 important events
that happen in your book. Use 3
events from the exposition, 7 events from the complications, 2
events from a major climax, and 3
events from the resolution.
In parenthesis (), label each event exposition, complication, climax, or
resolution. Keep them in order from
start to finish. With each event,
create a consequence for the player. If you want to create game cards you
may, but they must be numbered 1-15 in the order the events occur in the
book. Example: Byron’s mother
catches him playing with matches. . . again! She threatens to burn Byron
herself. Move back three squares.
