Subject: Re: book report quiz
I love having them do creative work based on actually having read the book.
I alternate with a book report like that (similar to what you described) and
an in-class quiz. I reached that decision because what we see in our school
is that students rerun creative book reports from former students. I don't
consider plagiarism a mundane issue, I consider it a serious one. I want
them to really read and to really write.

message/characters/title - as long as they read, who cares what they do...:)
In my class, the less creative ones can list 10-20 new words that they've
encountered and using them make up a story or article or whatever they wish.

questions regarding the setting, story analysis (conflict, climax and
resolution), along with one character analysis. However, I would like to
consider something different. Does anyone have any other ideas, or any
other solutions?
