Mrs. Kidd’s Class Book Project Options
DUE DATES:_______________________________________________
As you independently read throughout each 9-week grading period, you will begin to formulate a
plan for your book project. Each nine weeks, you will be required to create one project from the
following choices. You will present your project to the class on an assigned date at the end of each 9-
week grading period. Each presentation will be limited to 2 minutes, but must be at least 30 seconds
long. This project must be something you have worked on for several days or over the 9-week period,
not just something thrown together in one night!
You must let Mrs. Kidd know which novel your project will be on by the 3rd
week in each 9-week
grading period. This project is worth at least 100 points, and you will be scored based upon your
creativity, effort, presentation, and other specific aspects of the project you choose. HAVE FUN WITH
THIS ASSIGNMENT!
1. Create a life-sized model of a character in your novel. Dress it as the character is dressed in the
book, and include details of the character’s appearance on your model. ON A NOTECARD, write a 5-7
sentence paragraph to share with the class about your character’s role in the novel.
2. Design your own t-shirt with an illustration from your novel. This must be large, colorful, detailed,
and appear to have been worked on diligently. Beads, feathers, paints, fabric markers, and items of
this sort may be used. Washable markers, pens, and pencils are NOT acceptable for this project.
You must wear this t-shirt during class on the day you present your project. ON A NOTECARD, write
a 5-7 sentence paragraph to share with the class about how your creation is specific to the details in
your novel.
3. Write a traditional song with DETAILED lyrics and a melody, a country western ballad, a rap song, a
blues melody, etc. about the overall plot of your novel. This must be written completely in your own
words. You must use background music to another song or play an instrument as you sing, unless
you can convince a friend to harmonize with you or beat box for you (although he or she will not
receive any extra points for this help). You MUST sing this song to the class, not READ the lyrics. I
must have a copy of the words. (If you use background music from another song, it must be the
instrumental version.)
4. Express your understanding of your novel in an elaborate painting or sculpture. This painting or
sculpture must be DETAILED and must clearly express your character or scene as it is in the story.
This must be large enough to see details. A painting must be at least an 11x14, NOT as small as a
sheet of paper (8x10). ON A NOTECARD, write a 5-7 sentence paragraph to share with the class about
how your creation is specific to the details in your novel.
5. Build a model of what you envision a specific scene/setting from your story looks like. You may use
legos, monopoly or other game pieces, or any items similar to these. Please understand that you will
get these items back if you ask me specifically. Make this model to include all components of the
area you choose. ON A NOTECARD, write a 5-7 sentence paragraph to share with the class about how
your creation is specific to the details in your novel.
6. Create a PowerPoint, Prezi, or Glogster presentation about your novel. You must have at least 10
attractive slides/sections. They must each contain a picture and words (not too many words, but
definitely YOUR OWN words). There is a plethora of information on the internet pertaining to many
of the novels you might choose; however, it is PLAGIARISM to copy and paste anything that is not
your own words. This must be presented in class. You may not read directly from your Powerpoint,
Prezi, or Glog. Be sure your disc or CD works BEFORE you get in front of the class. You will receive 0
points if your presentation does not work. The PowerPoint, Prezi, or Glog must not have
grammatical errors! I MUST have a paper copy/outline of your presentation BEFORE it is given.
7. Create puppets and a 1-2 minute puppet show script to dramatize an episode from your novel. I
must have a copy of the script. Simple paper and crayon puppets are NOT acceptable. Be Creative.
Be prepared to share this puppet show with the class.
8. If your book is set in a complex land or a location that is vast and very significant to the plot, then
your novel might be ideal for creating a travel brochure. Create a travel brochure about a specific
setting(s) from the story, or (if appropriate) create a cruise guide with a list of excursions at each
stop. You should also include a map of the journey or of the specific setting. Your brochure must be
detailed and relate closely to your story. Be prepared to share this brochure and explanation with
the class.
9. Create a playlist that could be used if your novel were ever produced as a movie. You must use
clean music, and I must have a copy of the CD. For each song, write two to three sentences explaining
why you chose the song, where it fits into the story, and how it is relevant to the action. You must
choose a minimum of 10 songs. Be prepared to share this playlist and explanation with the class.
10. Write a diary that one of your novel’s main characters might have kept before, during, or after the
events of the novel. Try to make the diary’s appearance as realistic as possible. You must include at
least 10 entries in the diary. Each diary entry must be at least 4-7 sentences long, and the deep
thoughts and feelings of the character must be conveyed through your entries. This should be
written in the first-person point-of-view since it is from the perspective of the character you
choose. Be prepared to share an overview of the entries with the class.
11. Dress as one of the main characters in your novel and recite/act out at least 1 minute of dialogue
from the novel. You must clearly resemble the character you choose, and you will not be given time
in class to go change in to or out of your costume. ON A NOTECARD, write a 5-7 sentence paragraph
about why you dressed the way you did and why you chose the specific character and passage you
recited. I must have a copy of the passage you recite/act out BEFORE your dramatization begins.
12. You are the producer. Using any necessary extra people, costumes, set pieces, scenery, additional
video clips, movie, etc., create a 3-5 minute book trailer (video) about your novel, like the one we
watched in class to introduce Don’t You Dare Read This, Mrs. Dunphrey. Upload the video to YouTube
or another school-accepted site and be prepared to share it with the class. You must also turn in a
hard copy (a DVD, flash drive file, etc.) for me to keep. I must watch and approve any media project
of this sort BEFORE the day it is debuted in class.
13. Make a “BIG BOOK” children’s addition of your selected novel. A BIG BOOK is a picture book whose
pages are each around the size of a poster board. By choosing only the most significant events of
your novel, illustrate and rewrite your story on at least 10 BIG BOOK (poster) pages, and bind them
together like a picture book. Be sure to include a front and back cover. Be prepared to read this BIG
BOOK to the class, just like our kindergarten and first-grade teachers did for us during story time!
14. Create three (3) new titles for your novel. For each new title option, write a 5-7 sentence paragraph
explaining why you chose that title and how it relates to the novel’s plot, themes, etc. For your
favorite (1) of the three new titles, create a new book jacket for the novel. Illustrate/decorate the
book jacket and be prepared to present it to the class.
15. Create your own original project idea and have it approved by Mrs. Kidd by the 3rd
WEEK IN THE 9-
WEEK GRADING PERIOD. She may not approve projects that seem too easy or irrelevant. Have a plan
“B.” All projects must include a writing component.
**PRACTICE your presentation BEFORE class. If you know in advance that you will not be in class on an
assigned presentation day, you are responsible for scheduling a make up presentation time with Mrs.
Kidd BEFORE your missed presentation date.

Mrs. kidd's book project options

  • 1. Mrs. Kidd’s Class Book Project Options DUE DATES:_______________________________________________ As you independently read throughout each 9-week grading period, you will begin to formulate a plan for your book project. Each nine weeks, you will be required to create one project from the following choices. You will present your project to the class on an assigned date at the end of each 9- week grading period. Each presentation will be limited to 2 minutes, but must be at least 30 seconds long. This project must be something you have worked on for several days or over the 9-week period, not just something thrown together in one night! You must let Mrs. Kidd know which novel your project will be on by the 3rd week in each 9-week grading period. This project is worth at least 100 points, and you will be scored based upon your creativity, effort, presentation, and other specific aspects of the project you choose. HAVE FUN WITH THIS ASSIGNMENT! 1. Create a life-sized model of a character in your novel. Dress it as the character is dressed in the book, and include details of the character’s appearance on your model. ON A NOTECARD, write a 5-7 sentence paragraph to share with the class about your character’s role in the novel. 2. Design your own t-shirt with an illustration from your novel. This must be large, colorful, detailed, and appear to have been worked on diligently. Beads, feathers, paints, fabric markers, and items of this sort may be used. Washable markers, pens, and pencils are NOT acceptable for this project. You must wear this t-shirt during class on the day you present your project. ON A NOTECARD, write a 5-7 sentence paragraph to share with the class about how your creation is specific to the details in your novel. 3. Write a traditional song with DETAILED lyrics and a melody, a country western ballad, a rap song, a blues melody, etc. about the overall plot of your novel. This must be written completely in your own words. You must use background music to another song or play an instrument as you sing, unless you can convince a friend to harmonize with you or beat box for you (although he or she will not receive any extra points for this help). You MUST sing this song to the class, not READ the lyrics. I must have a copy of the words. (If you use background music from another song, it must be the instrumental version.) 4. Express your understanding of your novel in an elaborate painting or sculpture. This painting or sculpture must be DETAILED and must clearly express your character or scene as it is in the story. This must be large enough to see details. A painting must be at least an 11x14, NOT as small as a sheet of paper (8x10). ON A NOTECARD, write a 5-7 sentence paragraph to share with the class about how your creation is specific to the details in your novel. 5. Build a model of what you envision a specific scene/setting from your story looks like. You may use legos, monopoly or other game pieces, or any items similar to these. Please understand that you will get these items back if you ask me specifically. Make this model to include all components of the area you choose. ON A NOTECARD, write a 5-7 sentence paragraph to share with the class about how your creation is specific to the details in your novel. 6. Create a PowerPoint, Prezi, or Glogster presentation about your novel. You must have at least 10 attractive slides/sections. They must each contain a picture and words (not too many words, but definitely YOUR OWN words). There is a plethora of information on the internet pertaining to many of the novels you might choose; however, it is PLAGIARISM to copy and paste anything that is not your own words. This must be presented in class. You may not read directly from your Powerpoint, Prezi, or Glog. Be sure your disc or CD works BEFORE you get in front of the class. You will receive 0
  • 2. points if your presentation does not work. The PowerPoint, Prezi, or Glog must not have grammatical errors! I MUST have a paper copy/outline of your presentation BEFORE it is given. 7. Create puppets and a 1-2 minute puppet show script to dramatize an episode from your novel. I must have a copy of the script. Simple paper and crayon puppets are NOT acceptable. Be Creative. Be prepared to share this puppet show with the class. 8. If your book is set in a complex land or a location that is vast and very significant to the plot, then your novel might be ideal for creating a travel brochure. Create a travel brochure about a specific setting(s) from the story, or (if appropriate) create a cruise guide with a list of excursions at each stop. You should also include a map of the journey or of the specific setting. Your brochure must be detailed and relate closely to your story. Be prepared to share this brochure and explanation with the class. 9. Create a playlist that could be used if your novel were ever produced as a movie. You must use clean music, and I must have a copy of the CD. For each song, write two to three sentences explaining why you chose the song, where it fits into the story, and how it is relevant to the action. You must choose a minimum of 10 songs. Be prepared to share this playlist and explanation with the class. 10. Write a diary that one of your novel’s main characters might have kept before, during, or after the events of the novel. Try to make the diary’s appearance as realistic as possible. You must include at least 10 entries in the diary. Each diary entry must be at least 4-7 sentences long, and the deep thoughts and feelings of the character must be conveyed through your entries. This should be written in the first-person point-of-view since it is from the perspective of the character you choose. Be prepared to share an overview of the entries with the class. 11. Dress as one of the main characters in your novel and recite/act out at least 1 minute of dialogue from the novel. You must clearly resemble the character you choose, and you will not be given time in class to go change in to or out of your costume. ON A NOTECARD, write a 5-7 sentence paragraph about why you dressed the way you did and why you chose the specific character and passage you recited. I must have a copy of the passage you recite/act out BEFORE your dramatization begins. 12. You are the producer. Using any necessary extra people, costumes, set pieces, scenery, additional video clips, movie, etc., create a 3-5 minute book trailer (video) about your novel, like the one we watched in class to introduce Don’t You Dare Read This, Mrs. Dunphrey. Upload the video to YouTube or another school-accepted site and be prepared to share it with the class. You must also turn in a hard copy (a DVD, flash drive file, etc.) for me to keep. I must watch and approve any media project of this sort BEFORE the day it is debuted in class. 13. Make a “BIG BOOK” children’s addition of your selected novel. A BIG BOOK is a picture book whose pages are each around the size of a poster board. By choosing only the most significant events of your novel, illustrate and rewrite your story on at least 10 BIG BOOK (poster) pages, and bind them together like a picture book. Be sure to include a front and back cover. Be prepared to read this BIG BOOK to the class, just like our kindergarten and first-grade teachers did for us during story time! 14. Create three (3) new titles for your novel. For each new title option, write a 5-7 sentence paragraph explaining why you chose that title and how it relates to the novel’s plot, themes, etc. For your favorite (1) of the three new titles, create a new book jacket for the novel. Illustrate/decorate the book jacket and be prepared to present it to the class. 15. Create your own original project idea and have it approved by Mrs. Kidd by the 3rd WEEK IN THE 9- WEEK GRADING PERIOD. She may not approve projects that seem too easy or irrelevant. Have a plan “B.” All projects must include a writing component. **PRACTICE your presentation BEFORE class. If you know in advance that you will not be in class on an assigned presentation day, you are responsible for scheduling a make up presentation time with Mrs. Kidd BEFORE your missed presentation date.
