Project #1:
Song Project: Choose a song that you think Miles should have on his ipod. In a paragraph, connect lyrics from the song to scenes and situations from Crackback. In other words, tie the song lyrics to Miles and events in the book. Add in a youtube video link underneath your post! (You may not choose the same song as someone else who has posted before you--also, make sure lyrics are school appropriate.)

Using the database Student Resources in Context, find an article about the social issue embedded in your novel. Write a summary of the article (include the title) and copy a link to the article below your entry.

You may not use the same article as someone who has already posted.

Then read an article that interests you from another student's post. Comment on the article (thoughts, opinions, connections...).
