Reading Project - Due Thursday the 13th

This week in reading, our story is a nonfictional text focusing on movies as well as looking at the difference between facts and opinions.  Using these skills I have assigned my reading students a "movie" poster.  Here are the guidelines to follow:

1. Can be based on a current movie or a "made up" movie
2. The artwork on the poster has to be original - cannot copy the picture off of a current DVD/movie poster - and cannot be printed
3. NOTHING gory, bloody or scary please
4. Must contain two facts about the movie ~ for example, the setting, a character, something that happened in the movie ~ The main characters in this movie are Gru and the Minions.
5. Must contain two opinions about the movie (similar to a critic) - for example, in class I used the example ~ This movie is great!  Please don't use that one and encourage your child to be creative in their opinions
6. Putting the poster on construction paper is wonderful, poster board is not needed

Please know your child will have time to work on this in class on Wednesday and Thursday.  This is not an elaborate project.  I want them to focus more on the fact/opinion angle than putting tons of time into the poster part.
