1-Month Project

If you see the 8th graders working hardly on their computers, don’t distract them: they have an English project due October 1st! The English project was assigned by Ms. Riddle and Ms. Black on September 1st and it’s about figurative language, writing, and analyzing stories. The project consists of four parts. Part one is creating a “book” including all the figurative language given by the teachers. It also has to have 3 examples, one from the book they are reading in class (The True Diary of a Part-Time Indian or Unwind) and 2 from any other source. Lastly, the book also has to include a picture representing the type of figurative language. Part 2 consists of creating a story using all the types of figurative language. Part 3 is analyzing 6 short stories by finding all the figurative language. Part 4 is creating a reflection of the project. This project is very long, but the 8th graders have been given time in class. So you are warned, if you see an 8th grader working hardly on their computers, don’t distract them!
