Anyways, when my students do a scrapbook, they usually make it like a yearbook. For example, a page for each character that usually gives background information about the characters and then has pictures that represent the characters. But if they are asking about only the main character, maybe use each page for each major even that occurred with the main character and explain why it is significant. In a way, you can do a time line from when he leaves his mother until he going into the air force.

I would do both writing, to really show you read the novel and art to show creativity. If you are a horrible drawer like me, use a lot of pictures and colors!

Good luck! I know it will turn out great!

First of all, go to the store and purchase some supplies. Often times, there are scrapbooking pages available in stores, which makes your life a whole lot easier. On top of this, you can buy alphabet stickers (to spell out any important topics), regular stickers (as decoration), glue sticks (you’re gonna need a lot! I recommend the sticks over the paste so it doesn’t become too messy), design scissors (to make your cut-outs more interesting!), sharpies, and a lot more!

Here is a way that I would create my scrapbook:

1) You said that you need to tell of the character’s strengths and weaknesses, etc. Create a page in the scrapbook designated for each topic. Use the alphabet stickers to spell out the topics. You can print out a picture of the main character (this will usually only work if the book is popular enough, because it probably won’t be on the Internet) or draw a picture of what you think the character might look like, and glue it in the center of the page. If the character’s strength is his or her mind, draw a line from his or her head and write in sharpie, “Intelligence.” Write a little description of how they are smart and use some quotes from the book!

I hope I’ve helped, and good luck on your project!
