This post will talk about how we finished up the book and our final project. I hope you have found these posts helpful and please feel free to share what was successful in your own classrooms!
We read chapters 7 and 8 aloud together in class, but students only completed written questions for chapter 8.
We did the same thing for chapters 9-10, without answering any written questions. Instead, we verbally retold chapter 9 using just the pictures as a guide, and we played a Kahoot to review chapters 9 and 10 together. This time, I told them to play for accuracy, not speed. Kahoot allows you to download a spreadsheet with their scores, which I entered into my grade book as an assessment.
As a fun closer activity, I gave students one block day (80 minutes) to complete this final project. Students were asked to make movies either re-enacting a chapter in detail or videoing a one-sentence summary per chapter. With more time I would have allotted them 3 periods of class time, but I wanted them to show their videos the day before winter break, so I told them to keep it as simple as possible. Most of them turned out pretty cute!
Thank you for your suggestions for BB quiere un perro. I have a tough 7th grade class this year and I needed some new ideas.
I bought some of your TpT activities. I love the Halloween Mad Libs!
