Students love games, so why not get them to make a trivia game about the play or novel? (Or maybe they have an even better idea than a trivia game!) This activity is great because it hits many multiple intelligences, and is really engaging for the kids.

This is one of my new favourite activities, because it really gets students thinking, and it has them referencing the script as well as using their own knowledge and preferences. In the version of the assignment below, the students were asked to select 10 songs (you can of course adjust this number) and for each song they had to provide the title, artist, mood of the song, reference the act and scene the character would listen to it with a page number, and defend why the song is a good choice for that character at that point in the play/novel.

This is a fantastic assignment, and if you have access to iPads or other devices it can be done easily using the "Book Creator" app. Students should write a rough draft first, and start by sequencing the ten most important events of the play (all of the details are included in the assignment below). When the books are done, the students should take them to classes with younger children and share them. These books can be very impressive and you may want to feature them in the school library.

This is a good assignment for younger students, or students that struggle with large amounts of writing. Students create a 3D cube and each side of the cube contains information about the play. This can be a smaller cube or a really big one! It is all up to you and your students. There is a template included below as well to give you the general idea of what they could look like. (If anyone makes a better template, I'd love to see it! I think they should be bigger than this for sure.)

I decided that we would collaborate and think creatively in our own classroom. We brainstormed on the SMART board and created KWL charts about each organ: the brain, the heart, and the lungs. From there I decided to use a board game as their assessment. Together again we created a SMART board list of what things needed to be included in a board game. After that I printed off the list and they had to fill it out. Once they had filled out all of the required areas they were allowed to start creating their board games. They used items from both school and home to develop their board games. We have a class set of laptops so they we eager to use those to type out instructions and rules. Once we were all finished our games we set out to play them. The students assessed each other’s games based on a 5 point rubric. They had a blast and learned a lot too!
