~Where the Red Fern Grows~Due: _2/7/12__

Directions: Choose one of the following projects to complete. You will present them infront of the class.

Option #1- Invent an award that a character from the novel should receive. The award

should be creative. With the award, you must turn in a half sheet (handwritten)

explanation of who is receiving it, and what the person/dog had to accomplish to receive

it. The award must be 3-D.

Option #2- Create a postcard that has a picture on one side. On the other side, write a

letter/note from one character to another. The picture should be colorful and creative.

The message from the character should be realistic and fit into the novel.

Option #3- Write a letter to future readers of this book. You may encourage them to

read it for specific reasons, warn them about particular parts of the book, and briefly

describe what it’s about without giving away the ending! This must be a full page, typed.

Option #4- Create a cartoon, with at least ten pictures, that shows a scene or event

from the novel. You may use captions or conversation balloons, comic-strip style. This

must be fully colored and creative to receive full points.

Option #5- Create a children’s book version of Where the Red Fern Grows. The book

should be: a) “bound”—tied together somehow, b) illustrated (pictures on each page),

and c) have captions, rather than full text. This should be roughly 10 pages.

Option #6- Create and perform a puppet show based on a scene from the novel. It is

your job to create the puppets and props necessary to perform your skit. The

performance should be at least two minutes in length. You will need to turn in the

script when finished.

Option #7- Create a presentation board depicting a time-line of all major events in the

novel. You may make this as artistic as you like, but be sure to include and describe

at least 20 events.




Option #8- Create a slide show (in PowerPoint) that covers either the characters or the

themes. There must be a minimum of 10 slides. Each slide must have pictures,

graphics, text (words), and lots of color ! You must find a way to incorporate a song or

sound behind the slideshow.
