Book Projects

The students have been enjoying their Read and Respond assignments over the past few weeks.  There will be a culminating activity to bring the whole book together.  Each book - Misty of Chincoteague, Black Beauty, and Shetland in the Shed- will have a final project that will be due Thursday, October 10, 2013. Today, I suggested that students look online for creative ways to represent their book.  I am going to let the kids be creative.  They all did a fantastic job on their Social Studies projects, I know they will do great on the book projects.

Below is a link of creative book projects. The list is very overwhelming, but has a lot of great ideas.

I am going to show them a quadrama using the blog, I'm Blog Hoppin', as an example of a creative project. They seemed very excited about the suggestion of a quadrama, so I wanted to let them see one.
