In order to receive full credit for reading all of your books for the Wake Forest Literacy Program, please complete one of the following ten options for three of the books on your list. You may pick any book you choose and be creative with your final product!

1. Title Acrostic – Take a sheet of construction paper and write the title of the book down the left hand side of the paper. For each letter in the title, construct a sentence that begins with that letter and tells something significant about the story.

2) Cartoon Squares- Create a series of six drawings in six squares that shows a significant event in the novel. Under each picture or cartoon, write a few lines of explanation.

3) Word Collage – Write the title of your book in the center of a sheet of paper. Then look through magazines, newspapers, online articles, etc. for words, phrases, and sentences that illustrate or tell something about your book. As you look, think in terms of the theme, setting, plot line, as well as characters. The visual impact of the collage should tell a potential reader a lot about the book.

4) Awards – Create an award for each of the main characters in the book. For each award, write a paragraph explaining why this character deserves this award.

5) Poetry – Write three poems in response to the novel you read. The poems can be about the characters, where the book took place or themes in the book.

6) Wanted Poster – In order to show your understanding of a character, make a wanted poster for the main characters of your novel. If they were to do something wrong, what would it be, and how would you describe them, if they were lost?

7) Draw a Scene – If you are artistic, think of an important scene and draw it the way you see it. Then write an explanation of why you drew the scene the way you did. What does it tell about the way you related to your novel?

8) Re-Write the Ending – This option allows you to re-write the ending to your novel! Change things up, twist things around, but it still all has to come full circle!

9) Story Elements – Label all of the story elements of your novel – in great detail!) Use your English Journal for help! (

10) Theme Talk! – Pick out two themes from the novel you read and write at least a paragraph for each, defending your theme choice! What details in the novel can back you up?
