If I Die in a Combat Zone Book Project Choices 1. Create a timeline of this book and O’Brien’s experiences.

2. Create a book jacket for this book. Write an artist’s statement explaining why you designed it the way you did.

3. Did this book change your opinion on the Vietnam War?

4. Draw any four characters.

5. Write the lyrics to a song describing O’Brien’s experience in Vietnam.

6. Analyze this quote, “Can the foot soldier teach anything important about war, merely for having been there? I think not. He can tell war stories.”

7. Did you enjoy this book? Why or why not? (Free response)

If you have any other creative ideas, please ask me if you may do them. Have a good time with this; I expect that these will be GREAT! I am not going to be an easy grader on this one so a ton of effort is required to receive an A! This project will be completed in class (5/28-A or 5/29-B), so you just need to have your book read by then.
