Grade 9 ELA - The Kite Runner Scrapbook - Bailey Mari

Students created a scrapbook to show their understanding of at least 10 plot points in the novel. They had to describe the event, provide a quote, an image, and explain the quote in relation to the novel. I interned at Westcliffe in Marengo (Sun West), which marks on the 5 point scale, the rubric matches that. I've included in the document the curricular outcome and the connection to the 7C's. I used this assignment to wrap up the novel and had prefaced it by giving them organizers to keep track of important plot points that we went through every chapter. The students and I had discussed the criteria they were to include and were given any and all supplies they required (unless they wanted to use their own from home). - Developed by Bailey Mari

Assignment:

            Create a scrapbook containing at least 10 important plot points. Include a description of the event, the page numbers the event takes place on, a short quote, an explanation of the event in relation to the novel (What does the event mean to the novel as a whole?) and an image to go along with it. Be sure to be creative.

Use any communication means to show your understanding of the novel and the events that took place. You may use any app, presentation device, or a traditional paper scrapbook, or other form to demonstrate the understanding.

Your mark will reflect how much effort you put into the project. You will be given ample class time to work on the scrapbook so make sure to use your time wisely.
