Legendary Choices

By Susie Rogers, 5th-7th ELA

The 8th graders completed their novel study over Legend by Marie Lu and presented their final projects over this dystopian unit. It was called the 100 Point Project. They were given a variety of choices from cartoons, a newspaper, a diary, a time capsule, novel cover, and many more projects that were worth a certain amount of points. Their group had to choose enough projects to total 100 points! Groups found 15 items to place in their time capsule along with an explanation of their significances. They redesigned the book cover. They wrote details diary entries from a character’s point of view. They then presented all of the parts of their projects to their class. Legend has it that it was their favorite novel project yet!
