The Literary Food Truck Project invites students to creatively engage with a novel by designing a food truck that embodies its themes, characters, and symbols. This multidisciplinary project encourages participants to name their food truck and determine its central theme, describing the aesthetic elements such as colors, images, and symbols that reflect the narrative. Students will create a menu of 3-5 food items inspired by characters or key scenes, providing an explanation for each connection. In addition, they will select characters or symbolic items to serve as the staff of their truck and justify their choices. A playlist of songs that resonate with the book’s mood or themes must also be curated, followed by a rationale explaining how the truck's components cohesively reflect the story. This project fosters critical thinking, creativity, and a deeper understanding of literature.
