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!) My suggestion revolves around understanding the novel and allowing students to come up with a project that fits the book. For example a colleague of mine allowed all four of her classes to create a quilt square for a class novel they were reading. At the end of the unit the four classes put their squares together and put it up for auction at a school fundraiser. I also recommend Wordle as a creative activity to showcase themes within your classic novel. An Art Gallery at then end of your unit for all of your classes to see would be great as well.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: This is a great idea. I have done a quilt using "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry" and it was wonderful! Rated On: October 11, 2015 1:04 pm Rated By: deRudu
