Students will write a creative non-fiction novel or biography focused on their life, world, interests, and schooling. They will connect their writing to these four areas ("4 corners") in daily reading logs. Weekly, students will choose a task from a list to further their understanding, such as expressing an opinion on characters, finding related articles, reviewing a related movie, creating graphics, or making a study guide. Finally, students will give an oral presentation with media on a researched topic from their novel and submit an annotated bibliography, research report, and original media product.
