Instructional Ideas
  • Have readers work on the project throughout the unit
  • Feature the books in a literary fair to show peers and/or parents
Classroom Considerations
  • The lesson promises that readers will see examples, but the resource does not include examples of finished projects
  • You'll need to bulk up and clarify the rubric, as it's vague and not based on skill demonstration
Pros
  • A cute idea that you could use with any novel or piece of literature
  • Promotes critical thinking and creativity
Cons
  • Rubric would need to be revised
