Fun, engaging book activity:

This project is a fun way to keep students engaged in reading leading up to the Thanksgiving holiday. You can establish this activity by reading the book "Balloons Over Broadway" by Melissa Sweet. This helps students understand the concept of Balloons at a parade.

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.

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!
