In my seventh grade class we just finished our unit over The Outsiders, and my ninth grade class has just finished their unit over The Odyssey. Each class was assigned a big project grade that was going to be worth 300 points. I really wanted to let the kids do something fun that went along with each of their units. I decided to assign dioramas for bonus points...
The kids really seemed to get into doing the dioramas. I asked them to be very detailed with their scenes from the stories. My favorite ones came from my ninth grade class. I had students using clay to create a cyclops, and they also made some really neat ships and water with different matierials.
I am always surprised at the level of creativeness these young students can have when they actually want to have it. I just wish they would be as creative as they can be all the time...
