2nd Quarter Reading Project: Fictional and Historical Citizenship

This project corresponds with the novel the team just completed Catching Fire, and coincides with the Create a Nation project they are starting in their Social Studies class. The objective is to demonstrate their knowledge of the book through various forms of written and oral presentation as well as explore the theme of citizenship in the story. The project will last throughout the rest of 2 nd quarter and all guidelines are provided on this project sheet. The project is worth 90 points total plus an opportunity for extra credit. Each student is expected to put their BEST WORK forward and parents/guardians are expected to help keep them on track while at home, especially over the Christmas break. Good luck!
