2.      Give instructions to students.

3.      Students, after creating the CD cover, will present the project to the class.

4.   Students are assessed by how well they understand characterization, and an overview of the book.  Additionally, the students will be assessed by their ability to write a one sentence book report that reflects good mechanics and usage.  Although they understand this is not an art class, effort certainly is a factor when determining the grade.
