Brochure Project; Dandelion Wine (Day 2)

Period 3:

Please continue working on your genre brochure project. These will be due next week!

Brochures are mainly pictures. The information you provide in writing on a brochure should be clear, concise, and just the main points.

However, in the inside copy (the second page of your brochure), you can get more detailed. Leave the first page for bulleted lists, cover page, and your name. Your cover should include an eye-catching graphic JPG or photo.

Graphics are necessary to catch the eye. Remember that we don't have a color printer, so be careful about light color print or dark backgrounds. See my model as a guideline for your brochure if you are confused.

See previous posts for more details about what you should include in your brochure! There are requirements!

Period 4:

Dandelion Wine: At 10:00, please go next door with your journals and books. We will start reading again on page 26. If you did not read pages 5-25, please do so during period 3. Absent students, please pick up the book from the library during 3rd period.

Writing exercise: keep track of things...divide your page into two lists:

  • Rites and ceremonies (things you usually do)
  • Discoveries and revelations (new things you do/or new ideas you have about the world)
Examine your seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall. Place rites and ceremonies & discoveries/revelations in their proper place. Summer/Fall: football practice, Winter/Spring: basketball practice, Revelation: I am not tall enough to be a professional basketball player...etc.

HOMEWORK: Please continue reading through pages 67. Expect a short quiz on your reading of pages 1-67. If you need help, check out this site: context and summary: chp. 1-3 & chp. 4-7&  chp. 8-11 and chp. 12-13. Information about the main characters so far in the book can be found here.
