- Utilizing Character Journals/Scrapbooks in the Classroom
Sue Martin, a middle school language arts/literature teacher has allowed us to utilize these great pieces of student’s work. Students were given a rubric to create a scrapbook/journal in the eyes of one of the characters in the book they were reading. As the pictures demonstrate, this is a unique and fun assignment for student and teacher and can be modified for various age groups.
"The Lying Game""The Lying Game" scrapbook on the inside"Wait till Helen Comes""Wait til Helen Comes" scrapbook on the inside
"Wait til Helen Comes" Character Scrapbook"Harry Potter" Character Journal
"Wicked" Character Journal
"Wicked" Character Scrapbook on the inside
I find these pictures creative and I have no doubt that the students had a great time identifying with the characters in the books they read as they created these wonderful assignments.
