The Call of the Wild   Final Project Options. Choose one. As always, be sure to have a point, and use examples to back up what you say.
  1. Look in your notebook for February 5. Find the hypothesis you wrote down about Jack London's portrayal of Buck. Do you still think it's valid? If so, continue to fill the chart with evidence (4 or 5 examples). Then write an essay that shows why your hypothesis is true.
  2. A to Z Book for the novel. · 26 sentences—A-Z—that "capture" the book and its characters, themes, plot, lessons to be learned, etc. · Illustrated! · Bonus for good use of vocabulary words.
  3. Book Cover!  · Summary — include at least two quotes. (200+)  · Review — why should someone read this book, what can we learn from it? (300+)  · Blurbs  · Appropriate front and back graphics.
  4. Write an essay that discusses the relationships Buck had with the judge, Francois and Perrault, and John Thornton. What did each teach him? Be sure to show how Buck progressed as he moved from master to master, and finally to being the master.
  5. Rewrite the ending. Maybe Thornton lives. Maybe the judge gets him back. Maybe Buck is there when the Yeehats attack. Maybe... Follow Jack London's style. Begin at the point where Buck has finished with the moose and has "turned his face toward camp and John Thornton." It should be plausible, at least.
