Self-selected book creative projects
During the final week of the first semester, seniors in Ms. Hagge’s English 4 class wrapped up an independent reading project by presenting their creative poems, raps, mock diary entries, journals, digital presentations, and board games. Students were free to choose any book, fiction or nonfiction, from our extensive library collection. Designated class times were devoted to reading these self-selected books, and then students applied their creative thinking to a variety of projects. Special thanks to Ben Johnson for offering the NuVu lab and assistance to Hiekke Tans as he created his “Board Game of Thrones.” Pictured here are board games designed by:
Heikke Tans (“The Board Game of Thrones” about The Clash of Kings by R.R. Martin)
Kuba Marzec’s maze game inspired by The Maze Runner by James Dashner
Lucas Morgan’s Monopoly-style game about The Civil War by Robert Paul Jordan
Django Farinas’ Monopoly-style game about Brisinger by Christopher Paolin
Owen Kross’s board game about Battleships of the U.S. Navy in World War II by Stefan Terzibaschitsch.
