ASSIGNMENT:

You are to choose a novel over the next week that you will be responsible for reading ON YOUR OWN

time. This novel must be approved by the teacher: it must be of acceptable length (200 pages); it must be

of an appropriate reading level; it cannot be a novel that is studied in any other course; and it must be a

novel that you are reading for the FIRST time.

Choose a novel that interests you and one that you will be able to analyze in terms of plot structure,

characterization, and theme. If the book does not interest you, you will find it difficult to complete the

required tasks. Avoid choosing biographies or any non-fiction pieces as these will not be suitable for the

assignments required.

The final goal for this project is that you be able to market your book to an interested clientele. If you

are not excited about your choice, how will any one else be able to buy in to your sales pitch?

1. Proposal (1 page single-spaced)

You must choose a novel that meets the requirements described above. Complete and type

an organized proposal in the format of a chart. It is to include the title, author, genre, an overview

of the novel, reasons for choosing it, a time management plan, and a Work Cited page. If your

proposal is rejected, you will have 3 days to choose another novel and submit a new proposal.
