Creative activities and project ideas for any novel, story, or unit in history. Newly updated with rubrics & additional activities and handouts!
This 41-page bundle contains almost 100 creative student activities to use with any piece of literature. It includes several pages of templates and worksheets that are ready to go--just print and hand out to your students. I added rubrics and links to additional resources.
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 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.
DIFFERENTIATE!
While they are great for every student, 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 allows for differentiated assignments. "Creative activities" is one of my top-selling items and I use it often in my own classroom.
Research-Based:
Newsweek printed a story in 2010 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!

I purchased your Creative Activities for Any Novel or Short Story product and it looks great. However, some of the links do not work - the letters are blue and the wording indicates that they should link to a website, but nothing happens when I scroll over the letters. There are a lot of spots like this, but as an example, none of the listed "Links to Freebies" work on page 9. Suggestions?
March 25, 2013
Tracee Orman (TpT Seller)
Have you downloaded it again recently? I fixed the links a couple months ago, but sometimes the site reverts back to previous versions. I will check it & reupload the newest one with fixed links. Thanks, Cclausen6th!

Hi Tracee,
I just purchased and downloaded the Creative Activities & Project Ideas and am having some difficulty. The description states that it is 41 pages but I am only getting 33 pages and I'm assuming the rubrics are part of that last batch of pages (since I don't have any). I've tried downloading a couple of times with the same result. Thanks for your assistance. Char

Hi Char - I just replied to you via email. Yes, that is definitely a mistake. I downloaded it myself and see that it has reverted to the older version. I will put up the new one again ASAP. Thanks for letting me know! -Tracee

Hi Tracee,
First of all, I'd like to say that your products and lessons are amazing! As a newbie Literature teacher, your resources truly fit my teaching style...thanks a million! I purchased your Literature bundle a few months ago and was wondering if the activities in this bundle are different?
Kellie :-)

Nope, same ones are included in the literature bundle. I recently updated this (and put a new cover page on it that is a little more appealing) & will update the lit. bundle soon. You'll just want to re-download when you get that alert on your purchase page. :) Thanks so much, Kellie! -Tracee

Dear Tracee
Hi, I have purchased this package but when I downloaded it and tried to open the folder, it says that the file is damaged. Please advise and what I should do?

Tracee Orman (TpT Seller)
Sorry you are having problems, Faithlovesbags. I just tested it and it opened fine. Perhaps there was a glitch while downloading it. You do need Adobe Acrobat Reader to open, which is a free program you can download online. You can re-download it from your purchase page and see if the second time works best. Allow at least a minute for download. Thank you!

Tracee, good morning! Are these activties included in your "Literature: Activities for any novel"? Planning on purchasing the literature package - just wanted to see if this was included as well or if I need to purchase it too. Thank you!

HI,
I have just paid my $3.00 and clicked on the button to take me back to the site, but all I got was an empty shopping cart. Once I found your site again, it will not let me download.Please advise or refund.

Tracee Orman (TpT Seller)
Hi Anne--I don't have the ability to to refund--the administrators of the site do that. However, your purchases are found on your "manage my account" page. You will find a button that says "Download/See My Purchases." This is where you go to download the file. This is also where you'll go to see updated products & download again for free. But if you still want a refund, please email info@teacherspayteachers.com. Thank you!

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!

I just purchased this product but have received no instructions on how to download- how does this work? I'm feeling like I jus tgot taken for $3..... please explain how to get this item. I followed the instructions I had after payment and they didn't lead to a down load, so what's the story? Please help!
October 12, 2010
Tracee Orman (TpT Seller)
Sorry you are having difficulties! If you are not seeing it in your "Download/See My Products" folder or in your Downloads folder on your computer, please email me and I will send it to you. My email is orman3@mchsi.com.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Subject Area:
I've been teaching at my current public high school for twelve years, and have a total of 16 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.
