Welcome to Mrs. Regan's English Class

Welcome to my blog! Here you will find a list of resources, links and helpful tools to be successful in class! Just so I know everyone found the blog, please be sure to leave a post below with your first name in it!!

Here is a link to the   The Most Dangerous Game story! This will be helpful to use at home or in the library when working on your projects.

Remember here are the project choices:


1 Travel Brochure
2 Ship Trap Island Map
3 The Most Dangerous Game- The Game!
Design a travel brochure for someone interested in “traveling” to Ship Trap Island. Be sure to use the text to make your details accurate. (For example, one does not take a plane to this island!!!) . Your brochure should include details on meals, accommodations and island activities. Please include at least three images (from the computer, magazines, or hand drawn). The brochure MUST BE typed and assembled prior to handing it in. Please be sure your work is neat and thorough.
Design a map of Ship Trap Island. Your map should be large (at least 11 x14”) and accurately depict the island and its geography. Be sure to use the text book to identify and label Zaroff’s château, the location of the traps set by Rainsford and the light Zaroff uses to trick sailors into thinking a channel exists in the water.  Your map should be neat, easy to read with clear labels and contain a compass.
Create a board or card game that follows the plot of the story. Your game must include: directions (clear and concise), any game pieces needed, and a container for the game that is decorated to accurately depict your game.  Directions must be typed.
