Literary Scrapbook

 

 

Product:

A mini-scrapbook which portrays the world of your book as created by you.

Process:

  1. Review what you have read of your book and make brief notes on persons, places, and events.
  2. Begin looking for and thinking of items you can use in your scrapbook to represent the notes you have taken from step one.
  3. Place found items in a scrapbook. Under each item write a brief explanation of that item.

Specific Contents and Order:

  1. The cover should have the book title, the author’s name, and an appropriate picture or drawing on it.
  2. The title page should include the setting (time and place), the principal characters, and a brief description of each, and your name and the date. On this page you will only have hand-written information – no pictures.
  3. The next 8 pages will be your content pages. On these pages identify what you are representing by writing the character name, place, etc. at the top of the page. FILL the page with magazine pictures, drawings, maps, notes, etc. – anything relevant to the world of the main character(s) or secondary characters. Each character and/or place would have it’s own page. You should have materials to put into your scrapbook from a couple of the writing assignments we do along the way.

Work Schedule:

We will spend approximately five days class time working on the scrapbook. These days will not all come at the end of the book, but class time will be scattered throughout the time we spend on the novel. The final project will be due approximately two days after we complete the unit. Class time will only be allotted if it is used appropriately.
