Summer+Reading

I KNOW you've all been diligently reading over the summer vacation! Because we've all surely missed our "Literary Liaison" opportunities, I've created an assignment which will let us learn about a new technology tool while sharing our knowledge of great literature. You will choose a character in a book you read over the summer and will create a voki resembling this character to share with classmates.

I will be walking you through this assignment step-by-step. The tool you will be utilizing(using) will be new and unfamiliar. I am excited about this; however, you know how important it is to stay focused and to follow my spoken directions carefully! I am trusting you to behave responsibly.

Please review this rubric so that you will be responsible for ensuring that you earn a 100 as your first reading grade for the 2010-2011 school year. Let's start off on the right foot my dears. (Are we truly starting off on your right foot? No! It's an Idiom!)

You will be asked to defend your voki choices to myself or the class in order to support your placement on the rubric.

"Requirements" for this presentation are that your voki must ~provide their name. ~provide the name of the book you read over the summer. ~provide at least one fact about themselves. (Example: Harry Potter mentions that he's preparing to take the O.W.L. exams in __Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix__ while Angelina mentions that she has become captain of the Gryffindor quidditch team in the same novel.)

"Attractiveness" according to this rubric will be evaluated based upon whether your voki resembles your main character and whether the background you elect(choose) to utilize(use) supports the events of your book.  (For example, Harry is missing his scar in my example, but he clearly resembles J.K. Rowling's description of him. I am defending that his background relates to the events of his books as it resembles the ornate atmosphere of the library at Hogwarts while Angelina's background resembles that of the Hogwarts lawn.)
