Directions for The Hiding Place: Summer Reading Project To demonstrate your comprehension of The Hiding Place and to help you remember what you read, you will create a timeline of the story either through writing and drawing on a poster OR a PowerPoint presentation.

In the top right hand corner as a heading for your project, write: Your First & Last Name LA/LIT Summer Project (Make sure to use black or blue ink, and white-out to correct any mistakes.) 3. Draw three equidistant lines across the poster (either portrait or landscape). These lines will be a timeline for the book. There should be five chapters per line. 4. Number each entry with the number of the chapter. Example- If you re working on Chapter 6 drawing and sentences, label them Ch. 6. (See the example picture for how to do this.) 5. Above the lines, you should draw a picture representing each chapter. 6. Below the lines, in black or blue ink, you should write two sentences (not fragments), each of which identify a major event in the chapter.
