Sample Images of this Item
Best Seller! This 28-page bundle contains over 75 creative student activities to use with any piece of literature--novels, short stories, poetry. It includes several pages of templates and worksheets that are ready to go--just print & hand out to your students. NEWLY UPDATED with additional handouts & activities!
These activities can be used for any secondary age group--they aren't too young for seniors in high school, nor are they too old for 4th or 5th graders. The activities I included are those that are relevant to today's student: one who is tech-savvy and plugged-in to the rest of the world.
They are great for every student; however, they can be especially useful for reluctant readers who want more hands-on activities AND advanced readers who need additional engaging and motivational assignments. This is one of my top selling items and is in the top 10 on the overall site for best selling.
Newsweek printed a story last summer on the importance of creativity in education. Promoting creative activities increases students' problem-solving & critical-thinking skills, which, in turn, makes them smarter. They need creative activities to grow and learn. This bundle will help you not only with literature, but are adaptable for teaching many content areas!

Super for any unit-- very useful when you have older students who must read books significantly below grade level. This provided great ideas that didn't look "baby-ish".

What a useful resource! I tutor a lot, and many of my students need help in writing about literature. This gave me so many great, creative ideas to make these projects fun and interesting for students. There are so many of them, which makes it easy to select the right one for each student to cater to their skills, interests, and the book they are reading.
I love how so many of these options promote higher level thinking skills!

I have been collecting ideas for creative activities for novels for years, so some of these were familiar to me. Happily, I was impressed with the number that were new, or had a clever twist.

Yes--email me & I can send it to you in Word. I create it in Pages (Mac), so Word does not always support design elements I use (like drop shadows), so it will look a little different and may need some editing. My email is orman3@mchsi.com. Thanks, Lin!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Subject Area:
I've been teaching at my current public high school for ten years, and have a total of 14 years experience. Most of my experience is teaching high school English and journalism classes; however, for several years I taught an art history class. I teach all levels--from honors students to special education students; therefore, I'm constantly modifying my assignments to fit my students' needs.
