Eng. 11 All novel projects due Tues . . . .

I hope you enjoyed reading and responding to your novels. Over the next few days you will create a film to compel others to read your book. The films will be viewed by a team of judges and the winning film creator will receive a $25.00 gift certificate to Bolen Books!!

Here is a site that suggests you can find samples of book trailers:

You may also want to view a few that I found on Youtube:

Emily Donahue's Room

The Book of Negroes

We will have the rest of the week to work on our films. Please bring a flash drive so that you can save your work. You may then continue to work on it on your own time on the Macs in the library.

During our final three weeks of 2012, we will focus on writing and studying personal essays. Fun. Fun. Fun.  You will have an opportunity to get one published in The Globe and Mail or in Polyphony H.S. Magazine or other local magazines.
