Two questions. 1) What grade level are we talking about here. 2) What is the highest level of Blooms that is likely to be reached with this assignment?
summarizing the book they just read.
Students can create an interview type show where they interview characters in the book, create a short movie trailer for the book, or actually have characters act out portions of the book.
Besides the mention of xtranormal :-) what about this one? Interview characters in the book. A movie trailer? Act out a portion of the book? Again, what grade level? What is the Essential Question for the unit? What's the highest level of Bloom's
Students should include the title and author of the book, key characters, use pictures that support the story line, and create a tag line that will make others want to read the book.
What grade level? What SUBJECT? Is this appropriate for English class or a Media class that is studying posters, etc? What level of understanding about the book do you really need in order to do this? Is this worthy of an 18 yr old?
