Hi Everyone,

We are beginning work on our Personalized Video Book Review (PVBR) project.  Students have selected their favorite book that they’ve read since August and will be creating a video based on that text.  Creating the PVBRs is a three step process.  The first step of this process is to get to know your book REALLY well by answering 20 questions about that book in a “Read This Book” sheet.  Some of the questions can be answered in five seconds.  Others will take quite a bit of thinking.  We’ll use this thinking to create a narrative that shares the way the book changed the way they see the world.

Upcoming due dates:

• Every day:  Students should be reading their choice novel and bringing their project novel to school.
• Friday, January 13th:  Questions #1-7 on the “Read This Book” sheet.
• Wednesday, January 18th: Questions #8-#15 due “Read This Book” sheet.
• Friday, January 20th:  “Read This Book” with all pictures, plot mountains, character maps, etc. should be complete.  It should be turned in via paper copy.

Have a great week!  -Josh
