What would be the response of most students to Seventeenth Summer? Who is (was) the intended audience? Who do you think is reading it now? What did you like about the book? Dislike? Is Angie a character that you could relate to? Would teens relate to her?

  16. Tech Tools Krista Crossland

  17. “Low Tech” – Book Posters • Students use Publisher to create book posters • No material is original – they locate summaries, author information and reviews online, and transfer the information to posters (8.5 by 11) • All sources must be credited – otherwise students do not get credit for the poster • Students are able to review all posters and list top three picks for book projects

  18. Book Posters • These posters are used for a variety of projects • In all cases – students must choose a novel to read – final product is dependent on specific projects • Example – Living Museum – students read a Vietnam Era novel and create and interactive display/activity designed to communicate one of the key points of the book
