AND
do one of the following:
1. PUT TOGETHER A CAST FOR THE FILM VERSION OF A BOOK. Imagine the director-producer wants a casting director to make recommendations. Decide who would be the actors and actresses. Include photos and descriptions of the stars and tell why each is "perfect" for the part (one paragraph for each star).
2. IMPERSONATE A CHARACTER AND TELL AN EPISODE IN A BOOK. Dress up as a character and retell the story. (You will record this, burn it to a CD/DVD in WMA format.)
3. CONVERT THE EVENTS OF A STORY INTO A BALLAD OR SONG. Write the lyrics and music or adapt words to a melody by someone else.
4. DESIGN A COMIC STRIP RETELLING SOME EVENT IN THE STORY. This may be expanded to tell the whole story of the novel as a comic book.

6. DESIGN THE ILLUSTRATIONS FOR THE BOOK. Each illustration must have a caption to explain it. You must have a minimum of eight illustrations, and these must be on drawing paper (not lined), and you must put care and effort into these illustrations.
7. DESIGN A TRAVEL BROCHURE. Illustrate and advertise the "world" of your novel. The brochure can be done neatly by hand or by using publishing software, such as Microsoft Publisher.
8. THE FORTUNE COOKIE REVIEW. Explain why their messages, given to each of the novel's characters, are amazingly appropriate. (Each message must be explained in a separate paragraph.)
