The juniors at CAL Community High School each selected a novel from selected British works. The students then read independently, focusing on 10 areas for a comprehensive novel study: Author, Character, Setting, Conflict, Symbolism, Theme, Language, Applicability, Literary Theory and Criticism, and Impact on the Reader. Students then had to create 10 projects according to descriptions and multiple genres. The students completed the work as an independent study, furthering their abilities to research, think critically, and be resourceful. The final component of the multi-genre novel study was to present the projects through some form of electronic medium: a blog, a web site, a wiki, LiveBinders, or any other media they were able to access. Some projects are visual, some have a solid researched backgrounds, some are creative venues, and some are very strictly formatted.
