Project+Avatar

AVATARS This assignment is the paperless version of a book recommendation. I love getting great book recommendations from friends, and for you, I think your peers can do the BEST job of recommending books. Therefore, what I would like you to do today is create a teaser on a book that your friends can listen to in order to find out if they will enjoy the book! When you write your teaser, use rich, descriptive words, and leave your audience dying to read this book!

To deliver your teaser about the book of your choice, we are going to use animated avatars. The avatar should represent a character in your book. You will be able to customize your avatar to represent your book. We are going to use the website: [] to create an avatar and give it a voice to tell our classmates about the book we chose. Please take the time to write/type your teaser today before you record. Print out a copy or turn in a paper copy of your teaser to me on Monday.

Take a look at these examples before you begin...
