• Full prose--no comic books, joke books, etc.

2. Create an interesting, thorough wiki page for your book, that includes:

• Title & Author (w/ bio, see # 3)
• Short Plot Synopsis (don't give away the ending!)
• Literary Information (genre, style, etc.)
• Literary Analysis (how the author did what they did)
• Criticism section (What worked, What didn't)

3. Link your page to others:

• Classmates pages that would also be of interest (If you liked this...)
• Books in the same genre (either in class or from the web)
• Author biography (start with your own, then link to your source)
