My Summer Reading book was Artemis Fowl and the arctic incident the second book in the Fowl series.

1. Explain three choices you made on your one-pager which show your comprehension of the book or what you learned from the book.  One choice I made on my project was Drawing a picture of the main character Artemis. I made this choice because it shows I understood how the book described how he looked because the book always gave details about how he looked. I learned that at the end of the book his appearance is very different from how they described him in the beginning.

Another choice I made was drawing a background that was similar to the front cover. I made this choice so the reader can get an idea that the main character was in a setting similar to the cover. I understood the important setting where most of the book took place because when the characters got to this setting they described it in big detail. I also learned that this icy setting was supposedly in the midst of Russia.

The last choice I made was re-creating the symbol of Artemis Fowl. I made this choice because I felt as though it was a big symbol of the book. I understood how it looked because the cover had the symbol on it. I also learned that this symbol is very hard to re-draw.

1. Explain how you used color on your one-pager.

I didn’t use a lot of colors because the setting the picture is in, is the arctic. I did use the colors: Dark blue, light blue, and purple because these are considered “cold” colors. I felt like these colors would best represent the arctic along with white for the snowy ground. I also used black to color in Artemis and the ship-wreck in the background.

1. Explain two pieces of textual evidence and why you choose that text for your one-pager.

I chose to put quotes that best represented Artemis. I chose the quote: “A criminal mastermind” because it was a quote that happened to represent Artemis himself. I feel like Artemis thinks he’s doing good, but in reality, he’s also walking around doing criminal like things.

The other quote I chose was: “They say those who do business with him never return”. I chose this quote because it also represented Artemis but it also sounded like a rumor from a random citizen. I thought combining the 2 would make a good choice for a quote.

1. Which learning goal did you do your best work on? Which one do you find challenging?

I worked my hardest on making the background represent the book. I feel like I may have put too much effort into it but it ended up looking really good! The background is supposed to represent where the “Arctic Incident” happened which is supposed to be an arctic area in the middle of Russia.
