I found this creative writing project online that I think I would like to adapt for the final project for this book. Creating your own book? Sounds good to me!
CREATIVE WRITING PROJECT
Sandra Cisneros tells her readers that she decided to write her novel, The House on Mango Street, because "you will always be Mango Street. You can't erase what you know. You can't forget who you are." The purpose of this project is to create your own book which will help you remember what you know, as well as show others who you are.
Your book must have the following items:
* An Original Cover (10 points)
* Title/Title Page (5 points)
* Dedication (5 points)
* Table of Contents (5 points)
* 10 Chapters (see below) (10 points each)
TOTAL POSSIBLE: 125 points
Note: You will NOT receive ANY POINTS AT ALL for any book that is turned in that has less than 5 completed chapters.
Your chapters must be chosen from the following subjects:
§ Your Name
§ Your Neighborhood
§ Games or Favorite Toys from your Childhood
§ A Time You Got Into Trouble
§ A Time You Saw Someone Else Get Into Trouble
§ Advice From an Adult
§ A Positive Story From Your Experiences at School
§ A Negative Story From Your Experiences at School
§ A Special Family Member
§ A Happy Time For You
§ Going to Work
§ A Special Holiday
§ A Special Birthday
§ The Big Game
§ A Birth
§ Life in southern Illinois
§ 1 Additional Chapter on anything you wish
Chapter length: A chapter under 100 words will be considered underdeveloped and will not receive the full 10 points per chapter.
The chapters can be in any order you choose as long as it follows your Table of Contents. The project is worth 125 points and should reflect a great deal of effort. While we will spend some time in class, you should expect to do most of this project at home.
