Summer Reading 

The Call of the Wild  by Jack London
Chapter 1:  Into the Primitive
Chapter 2: The Law of Club and Fang
Chapter 3: The Dominant Primordial Beast
Chapter 4: Who Has Won To Mastership
Chapter 5: The Toil of Trace and Trail
Chapter 6: For the Love of a Man
Chapter 7: The Sounding of the Call

After reading The Call of the Wild choose ONE of the following ways to share your knowledge of the book. Each project will be accompanied by an oral reading exam when you return to school. Both the project and the oral reading exam will count towards your first quarter project trees in 7th grade.

Develop a soundtrack for The Call of the Wild. The soundtrack must have 7 songs (one song for each chapter of the book). Each song must be at least one minute in length and clearly highlight the major events and mood of the chapter. At least two songs must include  lyrics. Songs can be created on GarageBand or be created with your own instruments/voice. A soundtrack cover must also be created that illustrates the theme of The Call of the Wild.

Develop a map that could have been used by the characters in The Call of the Wild. The map must list all the places the characters went. It should also detail the trail that was followed in the book. Either on the map or on a separate piece of paper highlight at least 7 major events that took place throughout the book (one event for each chapter). Each event should be summarized into at least five sentences. The map should look weathered or antiqued, like it had been used by the characters. Remember maps should include a title, a compass, a legend, and be clear to read.

Screen Shot 2013-06-11 at 7.50.08 PM

Develop a game for The Call of the Wild. The game can be a board game or a computer game. It should have 7 levels or 7 challenges to highlight the major events in each chapter (one challenge or level for each chapter). Be creative in coming up with a title and characters for the game, both of which should be connected to The Call of the Wild. The game must be able to be played and easy to understand. Make sure you include instructions and the object of the game.
