For Juniors/Seniors in Multucultural Literature and Composition

Here are your book project requirements.

Your Google Documents presentation must include:

1. A brief summary or plot teaser. This is an overview, and not intended to be the bulk of your presentation. (20 pts.)
   
2. An analysis of the author's style and purpose. You should use language that is appropriate for literary analysis. This means you should be using terms like point of view, simile and metaphor, conflict, characterization (flat vs. round), etc. Support this section with direct information and quotes. (20 pts.)
3. A "What I've Learned" section. Discuss what you learned about culture, human nature, or society. This section must be supported with evidence. (20 pts.)
4. Your personal reaction and recommendation. Why did you like or dislike the book? Make a rating scale and rate the book. (20 pts.)
5. Clean visual elements throughout. You may cut and paste pictures into your presentation, or if you are an artist or an able designer, include your own stuff. Make sure your work looks professional and not last-minute. (20 pts.)
