Chocolate Fever Project
Over the past two months, our class has been working on
several reading strategies. While you
have been practicing these skills, it is time to show what you have learned. Please ensure that you follow the established criteria.
If you take the time to complete the assignment as laid out, there is no
reason why you cannot achieve a higher mark.
Part 1
Title and Author:
·
Make a small and colourful title for your Flip
Book. Be sure to include the Title,
Author and the type of book (fiction or non-fiction). 4 Marks
Part 2:
Theme:
·
Why did the author write this book? What did Robert Kimmel Smith want you to
learn? Please ensure your answer is
using complete sentences. Please explain
your thinking.
·
Type on the computer. Change the font to fit the space in your Flip
book. Use Spell Check!
Part 3
Setting:
·
Where does the story take place? Use
pictures and words to show what you think the setting looked like in the story.
1.
Images you might want to include: his house, school, hospital, school yard
where he was bullied, semi-truck, and the hideout. You can either draw, print pictures off the
internet or cut out of magazines.
Remember: You only have so much
room to make it all fit.
·
You might want to type on the computer. You have the choice. If you struggle with your printing, it may be
easier to type. Use appropriate font. Use spell check!
Part 4
Connection to Self:
·
One of the most important reading concepts we
have focused on thus far deals with making Meaningful Connections. If a reader is able to put themselves into
the story, feel what the character feels, they are much more likely to
understand and remember what they have read.
·
A Meaningful Connection MUST include:
1.
Name and Places: Tell me who was there and where it took
place.
2.
Details: Tell me what happened. Explain so anyone could understand.
3.
Feelings: Use words/pictures to tell and explain your
feelings. (Extremely important)
4.
Bring it Back to
the Book: You have to show how your
connection helped you with understanding the story.
·
Possible connections: (Note:
You must not write about a connection that you have already made – if unsure,
please ask).
1.
Have you ever had too much of a good thing?
2.
Have you ever had a problem that you did not want to
deal with? Did you tell the truth or did
you run away from the problem (did nothing and hoped it would go away).
3.
Have you ever done something that you learned a lesson,
just to repeat it again? In Chocolate
Fever, we are left wondering if Henry Green learned from this experience?
4.
Have you ever been scared? If so, what happened and how did you deal
with your fear.
·
Type on the computer. Use appropriate font. Use spell check!
Part 5
Summary of Events:
·
Throughout this book, you have been asked to Summarize your reading. Unlike a retell where you tell everything
that happened, a summary asks that you tell only what is important. As you have already completed your notes
summarizing the book, your goal is to now review what you have written and join
it all together. If you were not happy
with the mark you received originally, here is your chance to make the
necessary changes.
1.
Do not start sentences with Chapter 1, Chapter 2 and so
forth. It is understood that when
reading your summary that each chapter is presented in the correct order.
2.
Include only big ideas or important events.
·
Type on the computer. Use appropriate font. Use spell check!
Part 6
Chapter 13:
·
The last sentence of Chocolate Fever leaves the
reader wandering if Henry Green learned his lesson? What do you think? You have two options available:
1.
Write the final chapter of the book, clearly stating if
Henry Green learns his lesson.
2.
Write the first chapter of the new book called “Cinnamon
Fever.” Will Henry Green get it? Will someone else come down with it? Be creative!
·
Type on the computer. Use appropriate font. Use spell check!
Part 7
Map:
·
Use your imagination to draw a map of Henry’s
neighborhood, and try to chart the journey he takes during the course of the
book. Make sure you include all the
places Henry visits, including his school, the doctor’s office, parking garage,
where he was bullied, even the route that he and Mac take when their truck gets
hijacked. Draw a dotted line on the map
to show Henry’s wild path around town.
