I needed a fun, interactive project to incorporate with the reading students are doing in the classroom. With it being 3 weeks before the last day of school, I wanted to get in another project before we finally conclude. I also needed something that sounds fun and exciting because who wants to do work when the sun is shining, birds are singing and the foursquare court is calling your name?! This felt like the perfect choice for the 'fun' aspect, but also because after the initial explanation, the students are able to be on their own with it. This also makes for a great "when you finish early" activity. So basically, it pretty much is awesome all around.
Materials Needed:
File Folders
Construction Paper
Index Cards
Markers, Crayons, Colored Pencils
Glue
And of course, a book of choice :)
Procedure
The objective is to summarize each chapter on an index card which is folded to depict a matchbook. Students label the bottom of the matchbook with the chapter number and draw the main scene from the chapter on the front. Inside, students summarize the chapter. For longer books, such as The Hunger Games, I told my kids that they could do 2-3 chapters at a time.
The cover of the folder can be created with construction paper and then glued onto the front of the file folder. Such a fun project and (even better) so easy to prepare and execute!
While I was walking around watching students work and answering a few questions here and there, I thought this could be adapted to work in so many different ways!
Ways to Adapt this Project:
1. Students could make "Character Folders" and have each matchbook be about a different character.
2. Students could do new vocabulary words and have students make a matchbook for every new word they learn in their reading.
3. Students could turn this into a game and write comprehension questions on the outside of the matchbook and have their friends, who have read the same book, try and answer the questions!
