Write an Alternate Ending, Sequel, Modern Version,  or Parody  Book Report or Novel Study

Is someone in the class really unhappy with how the novel ends? Does someone want to extend the story or modernize it, or make fun of it? Challenge him or her to write an alternate ending, sequel to, modern version or parody of the story.  Be sure you give them your expectations clearly before they begin, and have them follow the writing process.  This assignment could even be turned into a video.
An example of an Alternate Ending Planner that was used with Grade 5-8 students is included below.
