Teen Book Festival Projects

As we prepare to meet over 25 authors at the Greater Rochester Teen Book Festival on May 15, 2010 at Nazareth College, your job is to use a 21st Century Technology to create a product representing one or more of the Festival authors and/or books. You will be able to work alone, with a partner or in a small group, but you must have a unique project focus (book or author). When we are done, we will be posting your projects for all to see, so do your personal best!!
