Description
of what you might do:
|
Scrapbook
|
Put
together a scrapbook from either Jem and/or Scout's point of
view. Include pictures, momentos, etc. from their years as we see
them in the book.
|
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) (There is a song out there specifically about Boo
Radley!)
|
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
the book is from Scout's point of view, we don't always know what the
other characters are thinking or feeling. Write a journal entry
from either Jem, Atticus, Boo, Calpurnia, etc., centered around one of
the major events of the novel
|
Human
Graph
|
Create
a list of statements centered around the themes and conflicts of the
novel. Make them ones your classmates could agree/disagree with
and then do a human graph on. As a prereading exercise for the
book, keep it general so everyone gives their honest opinions.
Assume they haven't read the book yet.
