March book review for Honors 11
A character in time and place
Read a book from the list that is not in your usual reading genre or is different from the normal types of books you read. Then research the time period(s) the novel is set in. Find information on the local, national, and world happenings going on at the time(s), the fashion styles, the entertainment and music of the time(s), etc. Then create a newsletter in Publisher of at least four pages that presents one of your character's views of time and setting of the novel. Include how the setting and time, and what went on then affected the character and the plot of the novel. Include relevant pictures and be sure to cite all your information. Be creative and show me that you have read and understood the novel. These are due on March 25th, 2008.
