1) Soundtrack:

Design a soundtrack for the book. Create a list of 7 songs (one for each chapter). For each
song or musical piece, include the original lyrics or a description of the music and what mood it
sets as it relates to the chapter. Write a description as to why you think each song relates to the
chapter and the mood it sets. Use a quote from the book to help connect the chapter to the
song. It can be a song about love, loss, missing someone/something, adventure, enemies,
companionship, etc. The song lyrics must be appropriate, which means no profanities or
questionable subject matter. Use of such lyrics will result in an automatic failure of the project.
The song should clearly illustrate the tone set in the chapter.
Requirements:
_____ A cover for soundtrack CD.
_____ 7 songs (artist/song title) on CD
