6th Grade Tuck Everlasting Projects

We finished reading Tuck Everlasting last week!  Today the children chose their cumulative project from the items listed below.  I am posting the directions for all three options, so the children can refer back to them at any time.  The projects are due Tuesday, November 27th.  If there are any questions (even during the Thanksgiving Break) please do not hesitate to e-mail me.

1. Paper Bag Book Talk – Take a plain brown paper shopping bag and fill it with 5-7 items that represent important parts of the story: characters, setting, and conflict. You will use these props as you present your book report, explaining the significance of each item. The outside of the paper bag should be decorated to fit the theme of the story and should include the book’s title and author.

2. Board Game – Design a board game with Tuck Everlasting as the theme. The game must include a game board, pieces to move around the board, written directions for how to play the game, and all other materials needed to play it. The game must be neatly and colorfully done, fun to play, and relate strongly to the book. If there are obstacles in the story, they should be the obstacles in the game. You will present your project by sharing the game with us, explaining how to play and how it relates to your book.

3. Character Monologue – Pretend to be one of the characters in the book, and tell us the story as that character in first person (using pronouns like I and we). You must submit a written script of your monologue.
