Literature Circle Project Menu
Directions: As you read through your book selection, consider how you would like to report back what you have learned from your story. Your group will be required to submit one appetizer, one main dish, and one dessert described below.
Appetizer
Setting
Recreate the setting and explain its importance to the story. For example, does it create conflict among the characters? Does it create obstacles for the protagonist? Does the setting represent larger ideas or themes?
- Using Minecraft, create the principle setting of your book. Include text boxes throughout the world you create that explain the importance of the setting in your book.
Main Dish
Theme
Explore the theme of the book you read by investigating the theme directly, through a character’s growth, or through the progression of the plot.
- Create a theme collage (Canva). Address the central theme through visual artifacts you find. Place the theme in the middle and move outward artistically with quotations, images, etc. The collage should clearly address what central message the author is trying to communicate to the reader.
- Create an Interview Video/ Podcast -Interview the protagonist to find out how she/he changes over time. What does your character learn? How does he/she grow? How does his/her growth related to the theme of the book? All group members need to participate in this interview.
- Create an animated video of the plot– with inciting incident, central conflict, climax, resolution — Make sure to address how the theme is developed along the way. (Consider Go Animate or Moovly)
Dessert
Make a propaganda poster for either the protagonist or the antagonist (Canva)
- Convince the viewer either to think a certain way or act a certain way. Incorporate short, simple language to create easy to memorize slogans. Include visuals that effectively deliver a message.
