Task 1: Identify any vocabulary you are unfamiliar with and look up the definition. Double check that the definition makes sense in the context of the text. Place in the first section of the email.

Task 2: Language Choice - identify any language that attracts your attention for any reason. Why do you find it interesting? Jot down your reasons in the second section of the email

Task 3: Verbs, nouns, adjectives and adverbs. Identify the ones you find in the passage. What do you notice? Are there any patterns? Comment on your findings in the email.

Task 4: Predictions - what might happen next? Why? Email.

Task 5: Opinions and reflections - what do you think of the story/narrators/characters? Email

Task 6: Connections - does the task remind you about your own experiences? Or other books and films? What are the similarities? email.

Task 7: Questions - note them, and remember there is no such thing as a stupid question. Try to list more open questions than closed questions in your email.

Task 8: What key themes from the novel do you think are reflected in the passage? email.

And remember it is one email, not eight.

Step Two: Research

Complete the Graphic organizer on the worksheet on your chosen person.

Once you have completed your research, get initials from the teacher before proceeding to the next step.

Step 3: Poster design

Biography Poster Project

Every field of human endeavor has its share of heroes, giants in the field upon whose shoulders everyone moved forward by gargantuan leaps and bounds. This project is designed to be a new way of presenting the research that you do for the person that you chose. The project is easiest to accomplish as a MS: Publisher project.

All elements are expected on the final project, which should measure 18 inches by 24 inches.

Email to the teacher.
