You will create a slideshow of images to retell a novel. In essence you are creating the ultimate spoiler summary. If I were to read this novel after seeing your slideshow, there would be no surprises.

The Expectations

• Your images must be intentionally chosen.
• The slideshow must feature the essential setting, character, and plot information.
• The slides must be in order.
• You will present the slideshow to me.

The Rules

• You can choose any novel at your reading level.
  • Your novel cannot be a novelization of a visual production – it had to be a book first.
  • Yes, you can even choose a novel you’ve already read.
  • Yes, you can choose a novel we studied as a class.
• If your novel has been adapted to film, your slideshow may only feature 5 images from the visual production.
• If you choose a graphic novel or a novel featuring a lot of illustrations, you may only feature 5 of these images in your slideshow.
• Each slide must be accompanied by brief notes that explain how the image relates to the novel.
  • These notes can either be on a piece of paper or included in the notes section of the slideshow software.
  • You can include text or notes into the actual slideshow but it isn’t necessary. The focus of this project is summarizing the novel using images.
• Your slideshow must feature at least 40 images.
