Creative Book Report or End-Of-Novel Project
Tired of grading endless book report essays? Need a break from those end-of-novel multiple choice exams and essay response?
This project allows student to choose their own projects that reflect not only their comprehension of the novel/play, but require them to think deeper on characters and writing choices of the author without them realizing it.

The higher order thinking questions come out after my students have completed the reading--through Socratic Seminar. Thu
