Fantasy Novel/Bloomball Spring2014


Genre Fantasy

“Fantasies are stories that involve beings and events that do not exist in real life. These works may start on a realistic bent but they soon evolve into tales that could never really happen.”

Read 1 fantasy book of at least 100 pages-does not need to be an AR book; but it can be if you choose. See me if we need to adjust the book length. Create a bloom ball about your book to share in front of the class.

On a separate paper, evaluate how your project turned out, what you learned, and your sources in a proper bibliographic format.

Your project and evaluation are due by the beginning of class the week of May 12. You will be sharing your projects during class the last 3 weeks in May.
