Book Projects For Seedfolks

We finally finished Seedfolks. We have explored the characters, the conflicts and the resolutions, and the theme of the book over the last week. Now, it is time for the students to take it to a higher level and create their own deliberate and thoughtful response to the book.
Which brings us to BOOK PROJECTS!!
Today we discussed book projects. These are a student's chance to shine creatively and show off their knowledge of the book at the same time.
To get started on this, students need to complete a book reflection. This is part of the book project grade and shows knowledge of each of these different ideas.
Together, we have studied the rubric and talked about what needs to be done in order to succeed on this assignment. Here is a list of sample project ideas that students may choose from, or propose their own.

All of this is due on Wednesday, February 17th at the beginning of class. I will be on the Jekyll Island trip with the 6th graders through the rest of the week. The students will have three FULL class periods to complete this work.
