Project Based Learning for ANY novel: Create a digital yearbook Digital Resource
By TooBookedUp
This no prep Google Slides project works perfectly with almost any middle grade/YA fiction novel. While students are highly engaged and thinking creatively they are simultaneously analyzing text elements such as the plot, conflict, resolution, theme, and point of view of various characters. This resource includes directions, an editable yearbook template, and a teacher exemplar in case students need ideas bringing their work to life. Integrates seamlessly to Google Classroom!
The ELA department at my school uses independent projects like these in our choice boards as students finish their work early. This would also be great to replace book reports or as an extension or passion project!
