  Case: Assignments with a classic novel
I have my advanced 7th grade students read a classic novel of their choice. I am looking for an assignment that will demonstrate that they read the book. Something creative would be great. I could give 2-3 or maybe 4 class periods for this and would like it to be done in class. If it could be something that isn't too challenging, also if they could work in partners (many read the same books) that would be great.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You could have students create a movie with a script based on the book and act out different parts of the book. They could modernize the text and have them solve the major problem of the book. You could give them a rubric to state requirements of the book so they know what they should be doing.
You could also hold a debate or have a discussion regarding the book. The book likely has opposing sides and you could ask students if they would do the same thing as the character, was it right, or what they would have changed.
