Today was a crazy day in middle school literature! CRP Day, choice reading project day, is always crazy. Every month, my students read a book of their choice on their own, and complete a project about the book. This month was a bigger project because I combined March and April into one project due to spring break, Easter break, and spring fever. I barely had the door open and 94 kids were coming into my closet sized room to drop off their projects so they wouldn't have to carry them around all day. Ninety-four projects falling out of every nook and cranny in the room. This month the kids created game boards to go with their books, and they crushed it. I mean, crushed it.
The project was a bit more detailed than just creating a game. The objective had to be completely based on the plot and subplots, and the game board had to be intricately designed based on the settings. Ultimately, the students had to become experts on the theme, characters, tone, dialects, and unique qualities of their story. The did it. It was so fun. In a few of the classes, we even played some of the games. Kids are so awesome.

These are just a few of the projects that I got put up in the hall. The other 90 plus are ... well, they are everywhere.
