Everyone will read __Seven Spiders Spinning__ by Gregory Maguire. After you read the book, you will need to create 5 storyboards. A storyboard is an illustration with a caption or description at the bottom. Walt Disney Studios first used storyboards to create a visual sequence for their animations. You will do the same thing with the action in the book. Choose 5 different **events** that you think are exciting or important to the story and draw them on your paper with a few sentences at the bottom to tell what is happening. Each storyboard must be the size of a standard sheet of drawing paper. This is the same size as regular lined paper. You may use white or colored paper for your work. Please bring your 5 storyboards to school during the first week so that they can be displayed in the hallway. In addition, choose one of the following books to read over the summer. Be prepared to discuss in Book Club when you return to school in August. You will meet in a small group to talk about the book. This will be a fun way to share your ideas and meet new friends.
