Quarter Reading Assignment #4 (ENGLISH 101 ONLY), Due 5/16/2018


All of the studies suggest that frequent readers tend to write, read, speak, and understand language on a level that infrequent readers struggle to reach.  For this reason, you are required to read a European classic that is at least 250 pages in length.

To get credit for your pages, you must create a poster for your classic which includes the following components:
                                1) Your name
                                2)  Name of book and author
                                3) An author bio (brief)
                                4)  A plot summary (bullet points are acceptable)
                                5)  Description of the cultural importance of the book
                                                -Why is it a classic?
                                                -How did it influence European culture?
                                                -How did it influence other works of literature?
                                                -Why is it still relevant today?
                                6)  A description of the major characters in the work
                                7) A listing (and description) of key themes
                                8) Two quotes (your favorite)
                                9) Three images
