"This was an awesome partner assignment I used at the end of our novel study. Students presented their projects in class and was a wonderful way to discuss character traits. My students enjoyed the coloring and put in a lot of work into the posters. They looked really nice in the hall displayed too!"

Description

This Holes Body Biography Bundle For Print and Digital is filled with all you need to teach and promote the amazing characters from the timeless novel. Your students will experience the unique approach of using a collaborative poster, Louis Sachar's novel, Holes, textual evidence, research, and the body biography project!

This project can be used any time of the year. The project bundle includes 8 characters from Holes. Give your students a relevant and modern experience while promoting the 4 C's, and achievement. Leave the body biographies up all year long! I adapted the body biography concept to align with citing textual evidence, character traits, research, and inference skills.

Includes:

★ each poster is a character from the novel. Featuring fun but mature images- appealing to all grades. Black and white/line art for your students to add color and design.

★ Poster is 32 inches high by 10 inches wide. It requires 4 pages each.

★ Group Work Rubric and Group Work Reflection Questions

★ Content Response Rubric NEW!

★ Body Biography Content Checklist NEW!

★ Bonus - characterization pre-planning sheets / graphic organizers for each character!

★ Student handout that explains each part of the body biography project (there are 12 parts).

★ Teacher set up directions, learning objective/learning outcomes, background, tips, and CCSS


Here is your list:

Stanley "Caveman" Yelnats (comes with the completed example as seen in the preview)

Hector "Zero" Zeroni (comes with the completed example as seen in the preview)

Rex Washburn (X-Ray)

Ricky "ZigZag"

Jose "Magnet"

Theodore Johnson "Armpit"

Kissin' Kate Barlow

Louise Walker "Warden"

What’s the Student Objective?

•Review what is supportive evidence.

•Define the literary term “character trait” and explore how to provide details that support their inferences (apply this skill similar to exploring a fictional text).

•Use the novel, class notes, and web resources to research the character (subject), then cite evidence to find accurate and descriptive word choice.

•Fill out the Holes Body Biography graphic organizer/poster.

Group work should promote:

•Intellectual understanding, abilities, and skills.

•Communication, cooperative, and teamwork skills such as planning. management, leadership, and peer support.

•Personal growth (increased self-esteem and self-confidence).

This was the best Holes wrap up activity! My students were super engaged and the posters looked great hung up in my room for Open House. I'm going to try to do character posters for every novel study we do.

Best book and fantastic project. This is still one of my most favorite novels to teach! The kids love it and these body biographies demonstrate their love for the novel as they take pride in their work and get excited to see them displayed in the hallways!

I always read HOLES during the school year and was looking for a fun activity to do before we watched the movie. This was so fun and kept the kids engaged for 3 class periods.
