Select any appropriate book that you would like to read for this assignment.  I must approve all books.  Your book should be read and all assignments completed one week before the end of the semester. There are three parts to this project:

Three emails to me reflecting on your book and your reading process: one after you finish the first third of the book, one after the second third, and one after you complete the book.

 A creative Representation – graded on originality, neatness, artistic interest, and creativity.  Choose one of the following

1.  A mandala over the main character of your book.

2.  A PowerPoint over the plot of your novel.

3.  A graphic essay over any symbol, theme, or motif of your novel.

4.  Your choice.  Clear with me.

A research paper over any issue raised in your novel.  It must be a debatable issue and this is to be a persuasive research paper.
