Credit Idea: |
Using
any of the three books, here's a description of what you might do: |
| Scrapbook |
Put
together a scrapbook from the main character's point of view.
Include pictures, momentos, etc. from the time period in the book, or
even before or after. |
| Soundtrack |
Compile
a soundtrack of music to go with the book. You would probably
want to have a theme song for each of the characters, a song for the
major events in the story, etc. Write up a short summary of what
the song is, who sings it, and why you chose it. (Make sure the lyrics
stay clean) |
| Playbill |
Put
together a program or playbill if this book were going to be made into
a play (or movie). Include a cast of characters and put
modern-day actors in the key roles. Playbills also have summaries
of the action, background information, advertising, etc. |
| Artwork |
Pick
a scene, character, setting, or event from the book and create a piece
of artwork around it. You may use whatever medium you want to
work with. |
| Bulletin
Board |
Create
and put up a bulletin board on one of the three boards in/outside room
205. |
| Crossword/Puzzle |
Using
one of the online puzzle-makers, make a crossword or other type of
puzzle over the characters, events, etc., from the book. Make a
blank copy and an answer key. |
| Journal
Writing |
Since
most of the books are from the main character's point of view, we don't
always know what the other characters are thinking or feeling.
Write a journal entry from the point of view of one of the other main
characters, centered around one of the major events of the novel/play. |
| Reading |
A.
Read another Ibsen play and do a book report on it for us.
OR B. Read two or three of Kate Chopin's other short stories and do mini-book reports for each OR C. Read/research Zora Neal Hurston's folklore writing. Write a paper or book report about what you read about. |
