SOUNDTRACK PROJECT

 

Students create a soundtrack to accompany a novel, explaining why each song compliments or emphasizes the events and experiences of characters in the text. Their song choices and analysis are compiled into a pamphlet that fits into the cover of a CD case, as the album art and lyrics would fit into a professional CD.

THEME DIARY PROJECT

 

Students are required to choose four themes from a novel and analyze how each theme affects both the progagonist and themselves by writing diary entries.

 

This project requires students to utilize higher order thinking skills to address multiple themes from dual perspectives, drawing from their personal experiences to make meaningful connections to the text.
