The Book Ball

Overview: You will create a 12-sided “Book Ball” that incorporates each one of the elements below. The “Ball” will be made from the templates provided (you’ll need to take 12 of them). You need to remember to do all of your writing and decorating on the paper within the pentagon before you cut and fold the circles. You may add any decorations or drawings to any unused space on the paper. Note that all underlined titles below require an illustration on that side in addition to the text. The sides are as follows:

  1. Cover Side: Have the MLA heading on this side as well as an illustration of what YOU think the cover of the book should be (other than what it actually is).
  1. Author Side: Write a brief (8-10 sentences) author bio.
  1. Character Side: Describe any of the characters in the story. Is he/she a dynamic or static character? What is his/her role in the book? Are the likable or not? Etc. (8-10 sentences).
  1. Setting Side: Draw a picture or a map of the setting of the story. This side is ONLY an illustration; no text needed.
  1. Theme Side: Write about the theme of the book (8-10 sentences).

6-7. Symbolic Sides: Write about 2 symbols illustrated in the book and what they represent (5 sentences each).

  1. Poetry Side: Write a poem (any type, 10 lines or longer, does not have to rhyme) about the story, a certain character, or a favorite scene.

9-10. Alternate Ending Sides: Write a different ending to the story (15-20 sentences).

  1. Review Side: Write a book review (8-10 sentences).
  2. Motif Side: Describe a motif illustrated throughout the book. (5-7 sentences).

When all sides and decorations are complete:

- Carefully cut out the 12 circles,

-Fold the crescents on the lines around the circle so that the folds are standing up or facing up.

-Align the crescent of one circle to the crescent of another and staple them together (glue might come unglued). Each crescent will be stapled to a different circle’s crescent all the way around to create a ball.

*Be sure that all edges are facing up and are framing your pictures or paragraphs!

*Use any artistic techniques you’d like. The more creative and visually/intellectually stimulating, the better! Of course, you must fulfill the side requirements first.

*Use the template provided for the project; you cannot make it bigger or smaller.
