Here is the timeline for this project:

Wednesday, June 9 ~ 6 circles completed in TOTAL.

Wednesday, June 16 ~ DUE DATE! ALL 12 circles should be finished and you are prepared to present your 4 favourite circles.

Circle 2 – Draw a picture or map of the setting of your story. Label it. SETTING

Circle 4 – List 3 problems faced by your main character. Use complete sentences. PROBLEMS

Circle 5 – Write a poem about the story. The poem can be a rhyming one or free verse, haiku, acrostic poem, a “shape” poem, etc. Your choice. POEM

Circle 8 – Describe the main character in your story. M.C.

Have fun with this mystery book project! Due June 16, 2021

The above dates are given as a guide, the only 2 mandatory dates are the book approval and final project due date. The report will be graded for both reading and writing on the rating scale provided in class.

Each student will be given 12 circles. It would be a good idea to write all information on blank paper and having it proofread before transferring to the circles. All information is to be hand written / printed.
