Character Scrapbook Book Project Requirements
□ Scrapbook Title Page
 The scrapbook title page should reflect the main setting of the story.
 The background should also include the character’s name, the title of the book,
the author’s name, and your name.
□ Pictures and Photographs
 Include a minimum of 2 pictures or photographs on your scrapbook page that
reflect the themes of Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry. (Photos can be drawn, cut
out of magazines, real pictures, or a print out from the Internet).
 You will also need to include a 1-2 sentence explanation that describes how these
pictures are important to your character (typed or neatly handwritten).
□ Souvenirs and Mementos
 Draw, create, collect, or find at least 4 souvenirs that your character would
have put in a scrapbook.
 These objects should symbolize events in the story or important aspects of your
character.
 The souvenirs/mementos need to be attached to the scrapbook page carefully,
so they don’t fall off. You can place them in a small plastic bag if this is an
easier way for you to display them.
 Include a 1 – 3 sentence explanation (typed or handwritten) next to each object
describing its significance.
□ Letter to a Character
 Write a letter to another character in the story that was important to your
character.
 Include at least three important events that these characters would have
remembered.
 You may write anything you like about these events. Just remember to write as
though you are the character you chose.
 The letter should be neatly written or typed and needs to be 3 – 4 paragraphs.
□ Spelling, Grammar, Punctuation, Neatness
 Make sure your spelling, grammar, and punctuation are correct and that the
overall look of the scrapbook is creative and neatly constructed.
 Make sure you have re-read your sentences so they make sense and are written
from your main character’s point of view.
