Great Project Suggestion at the Bottom of the Page.
*Great Project Suggestion
(from above)

Do a suite (a set, a collection) of covers, the author, his towns, his characters.  How complete can you get?  Put them in a photo album or in sheet protectors.  This will make something completely cool -- you'll want to keep it.  Shoot go for the big banana . . . go on eBay and buy a Shakespeare stamp or a commercially-produced first day/commemmorative cover; make it the centerpiece of your collection.  It will be terminally cool.
If you want to really kick it up a notch, include images from both videos, which would, of course, mean two envelopes.  You could send to two towns for each character, place name.  
Come by the classroom before/after school to use the light table if you need it.  Remember, the assignment is due Wednesday the 19th.

  Whichever way you're going to go,
