Tried It Tuesday: Culminating Activities for Novel Studies

Let's link up with Fourth Grade Flipper for Tried It Tuesday!



I'm always on the hunt for fun ways to end a novel study. Wrap up a read aloud in a neat little bow! I read Wonder earlier in the year and did lap books. That was sweet. When I finished The One and Only Ivan we brainstormed character traits and made Tagxedos. For Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key, I made these story elements organizers (Theme, Perspective, Setting, Genre) and BLEW THEM UP on our school poster maker. Kiddos got in pairs and filled in the cloze activity and then presented to the class.

  2. I am so jealous that your school has a poster maker! My old school had a poster maker and I loved it! We have one at our district office that we can order posters on, but I haven't ever sent any documents to be printed. I loved reading Wonder to my kids this year. I just preordered Julian's Chapter on Amazon.

    1. The poster maker is so convenient! Last time I went to use it, I didn't realize there was bright orange paper in it and wound up with Halloween-y posters!
