NOVEL ASSIGNMENT
BOOKS HAVE TAKEN A BACK SEAT TO
COMPUTERS FOR MANY. HOWEVER, THERE ARE STILL TIMES IN WHICH A BOOK IS THE
PREFERRED OR NECESSARY MEDIUM. WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT THE ART OF FINDING, EVALUATING,
CHOOSING, AND BUYING BOOKS.
1. You are given $1000 (theoretically)
to spend on three (3) to five (5) books by British authors, and you will use
the following sites to purchase your books.
2. For each book, you must record the
following information:
·
The
name of the book
·
The
author
·
The
year the book was published
·
The
publisher of the book
·
The
location of the publishing company
·
The
type of cover, or boards (hardback, paperback, leather, etc.)
·
The
condition of the book (fine, good, poor, etc.)
·
Any
other pertinent information (first edition, signed, illustrated, dust jacket,
etc.)
·
Where
you purchased the book
·
The
price (including shipping)
·
The
reason(s) you selected the book
·
Your
opinion of the book.
·
The
special significance(s) of the book, if any
3. You will turn in your completed
information to the Book Project folder in Google Classroom by the first of class on Monday, April 4.
4. You will receive a test grade for this,
although if you have, in my opinion,
one of the following, you may opt for an automatic grade of 95:
a. Most interesting collection
b. Oldest collection
c. Best quality collection
d. Most coherent collection
