Question: What is an
alternative to a book report on novels like The
Lord of the Flies?
Answer: At the end of
every chapter, students draw a picture with 3 to 5 sentences describing the
picture.
Quote: “So what
happened? More than I expected. Besides the cooperation and enjoyment I
observed during the unit, a student questionnaire indicated many gains. Most
students responded that the pictures helped them to remember the story. Looking
back at the pictures was a comfortable review. Also, ‘When you’re absent you’ll
know the most important thing that happened in that chapter because students
were eager to share their pictures with their peers”
Comment: Worth a try. Try it yourself first. RayS.
