What are my recommendations for use in your classroom?
PRINTABLE VERSION
◾ This document has been set up for double-sided printing. Any blank pages in the document were added intentionally to make double-sided printing easy.
◾ I explain detailed suggested instructions inside the document on the Teacher Instructions pages. However, I recommend that this project be assigned as a summative assessment after reading the entire novel.
◾ Students will be tasked with choosing a character whose perspective wasn't shared in the novel and writing a chapter extension to the book from that character's perspective. I recommend having students write rough drafts, peer or teacher editing the rough drafts, and having students write their final copies after fixing errors found in the editing process. Specific instructions/recommendations for length, plot, inferences, and more are explained in detail in the student overview sheet and the project rubric.
FILLABLE PDF VERSION
◾ You can alter the student instructions in the editable PDF. Then, you can export the PowerPoint file to a PDF so that you can send it to your students (via email, Google Classroom, etc.).
◾ The student-facing pages include text boxes that students can type into for their brainstorming, rough drafts, and final copies. Most of these text boxes have been enabled with multiple lines (single spacing) and scrolling.
◾ There are also fillable text boxes for students' names, the date, and the class period (if applicable). You can fill in the name text box for each student before sending out the test, if you like, but that will add more work in individually assigning each personalized copy of the PDF to each student.
◾ Assign the project to students via email, Google Classroom, or whatever Learning Management System (LMS) your school/district uses.
◾ You will need to manually grade the completed PDF projects.
