Be creative after reading
When you have finished reading the book, you could try some of the following activities:
1.Write a letter to the author of your novel and explain how you feel about the book.
2.Surfing the net. Where did the story take place? When did it take place?
Surf the Net to find five internet sites that others might check out before they read the book so they will know more about the book’s setting or time period.
3.Book Fair. Make posters related to their favourite book. You should then try to “sell” the book to others in the class. ( a 60-second speech to persuade other students to read the book)
4.Interview a character. Write questions to ask to a main character in the
book. Also write the answers to each question. The questions and answers should provide information that show you read the book.
5.Glossary. Create a glossary of ten or more words that are specific to the book’s
setting, characters,… Define each word and write a sentence from the book that includes that word.
6.Create a comic book. Turn the book, or part of it, into a comic book (comic-style illustrations and dialogue bubbles).
7.Book report on PowerPoint. Present what you know about the book you read on PP.
8.Prepare an oral report of 5 minutes. Give a brief summary of the plot and describe
the personality of one of the main characters. Be prepared for questions from the class.
9.Dress as one of the characters and act a characterization.
10.Write a letter to the main character of your book asking questions, protesting a situation, and/or making a complaint and /or a suggestion.
11.Read the same book as one of your friends. The two of you make a video or do a live performance of Masterpiece Book Review, a program which reviews authors.
12.If the story of your book takes place in another country, prepare a travel brochure using pictures you have found or drawn.
13.Write a full (physical, emotional, relational) description of three of the characters in the book. Draw a portrait to accompany each description.
14.After reading a book of history or historical fiction, make an illustrated timeline showing events of the story and draw a map showing the location(s) where the story took place.
15.Do a book talk. Talk to the class about your book by saying a little about the author, explain who the characters are and explain enough about the beginning of the story so that everyone will understand what they are about to read. Finally read an exciting, interesting, or amusing passage from your book. Stop reading at a moment that leaves the audience hanging and add “If you want to know more you’ll have to read the book.”
16.Use magazine photos to make a collage about the story.
17.Write a different ending for your story.
18.Pretend that you are going to join the characters in the story. What things will you need to pack? Think carefully, for you will be there for a week, and there is no going back home to get something!

20.Pretend that you can spend a day with one of the characters. Which character would you choose? Why? What would you do?

28.Create a radio ad for your book. Write out the script and tape record it as it would be presented. Don’t forget background music!
