Scrapbook Project You will be responsible to purchase the materials. You will choose a specific character from the novel. You will be given specific instructions every week about what to add in your scrapbook. All diary entries must be written in class. They will be kept by your teacher and placed in your portfolio. (Your teacher will provide lined or colored paper-if you have a preference for something else you will need to provide it ) The design element of your scrapbook can be worked on at home. You will also have some class time for this. Remember that the aesthetic of your scrapbook is important. You will be getting a grade for criterion C-producing text. At the end of the unit, you will do a dramatic performance from the perspective of the character.

WAGOLL: What A Good One Looks Like Journal Entry - Piggy, Chapter 1 At first, the island seemed almost peaceful, but as the hours went by, I began to feel uneasy. It’s hot and noisy, and my asthma makes everything harder. No one seems to care about how difficult this is for me. Early on, I thought Ralph might be different, maybe even a friend, but after he started calling me "Piggy" in front of everyone, I felt humiliated. Every time he uses that name, it’s like a stab to my heart, and I have to pretend it doesn’t hurt. Then, there’s Jack. From the moment he spoke, I knew he was trouble. He’s loud and pushy, and I’m certain he wants control over everything. As time went on, it became clearer that he’s the kind of boy who gets what he wants, no matter who gets hurt. I don’t trust him, not for a second. After we talked about getting rescued, I suggested starting a fire right away. But even though it was my idea, no one took me seriously. When they finally decided to do it, they used my glasses to light it. Now, every minute I’m worrying they’ll break them, and without that fire, we’ll never be rescued. No one else seems to realize how important it is to keep it going—they're too busy pretending this is all a game. It scares me how blind they are to the danger.
