Welcome to your fourth quarter outside reading book project! As a class you are certainly growing in your ability to discuss literature.

1. I would like you to write a book review where you analyze the book using literary elements (characterization, setting, point of view, theme, etc.). Notice, this is not a plot summary, but an analysis of the book. Think back to the paragraphs that we wrote in class concerning “A Lamb to the Slaughter” and “I’ve Got Gloria”. It should help you understand what you should include in your project.
2. Along with the analysis I would like you to include a quote that exemplifies the character, a theme, or the understanding of the book.
3. Finally, I want you to end this review with a recommendation. Who would like this book? What other books can you relate your book to?

After you are done with this analysis I would like you to comment on your classmates’ reviews. This requires you to make a thoughtful comment and to ask a question. You are required to respond to at least three people. This project is due on June 6, 2008.
