Treasure Island Final Project Choices

For this unit, Instead of a Final Test, you will have a Final Project. And you have a choice. Actually, four choices.
 * __Face Reading__**: Choose a scene from the book, jot down the page numbers of the scene and a brief summary of what is happening. Use a white piece of paper to draw the faces of the people in that scene. The most important thing about your drawings is that the facial expression match how that character is probably feeling during the scene. On the back of the drawing, explain the character’s emotional state and why they felt that way during the scene you chose.


 * __The Counselor’s Couch__**: Imagine that, during the story, the main characters could stop what they were doing and visit the counselor for a little help dealing with their problems. Choose a scene, pick a character, and create a brief skit where the character talks about all his problems and feelings with a counselor. Feel free to bring in more than one character for a group session, if you feel that’s appropriate.


 * __Action Map__**: Choose an action or exploration scene and draw a map that visually documents not only the part of the island, but also the geography, major landmarks, and movements of the characters.


 * __3-D Action Map__**: Using popsicle sticks, toothpicks, glue, cardboard, construction paper, wood scraps or even food, create a scaled replica of the stockade and blockhouse. When you’re done sketch out a battle between the pirates and the good guys.
