Creative Literature Projects Students Love
Regardless of whether it’s the best of times or the worst of times, sometimes it’s hard to get students engaged in classic literature. Let’s face it: “The Great Gatsby” simply isn’t great to everyone: Some students will inevitably find the text boring and outdated.
So how does a good English teacher get kids engaged with a book like “The Catcher in the Rye”?
We recently listed out some time-honored tips for engaging kids with classic texts, including:
- Throw a “Great Gatsby” party
- Make a “Fahreneit 451” mug shot gallery
- Have students make “Romeo and Juliet”-type masks to attend a Capulet party
- And more!
