Ms. Alcazar used literature circles in her 6th grade reading classroom to allow students to openly discuss topics within the assigned book Surviving the Applewhites. After students read and discussed the book in class they were given the task of creating a digital project. Students were allowed to choose the media in which they would present the project but were asked to include the following criteria: book title and author, main character(s), conflict (and what type of conflict it is), important vocabulary words from the book, a one paragraph summary of the plot, using the words exposition, climax and resolution, a one paragraph review of the book – what was good or bad and why. The 1st picture is from an iMovie and the 2nd is from a keynote presentation.
