Use these examples of projects created by students to inspire creative comprehension performance tasks in your classroom.
Creative use of technology can engage students, and help you integrate your iPads, PCs, or Chromebooks into your literacy curriculum.
Students create a new cover for a book to show comprehension and explore character, plot, setting, symbolism, and conflict.
To show what they know about a character in a novel you are reading, students create a digital scrapbook for this person.
Students can personify an object and write a story as part of an online book or animated adventure.
Students create a book review to demonstrate comprehension and help others choose books they will enjoy.
Students explore character, plot, and theme and write persuasively as they develop a movie-style trailer for a book they have read.
Students create visual poetry by combining images that portray the meaning of text.
