Title: Assignment: Extension Assignment

Description: Ideas for Literature Extension Activities
Please choose one of the following extension activities. You need to plan this with your literature groups. You will be presenting your final project on Thursday, 2/20.

BOARD GAME:
Design a board game to fit with the events of the story. Use a poster board. Your classmates must be able to play this game.

PICTURE BOOK or COMIC BOOK
Rewrite your novel as a picture book/ comic. 15 pages max with colorful illustrations. Keep it G rated, but it must follow the plot. You will be reading this to your buddy class.

CAPTIVATING COMMERCIAL
Write a commercial for your book including a jingle and scenes from your book. Present it to the class via iMovie. 1:30

BOOK TRAILERS
In the spirit of movie trailers, book trailers allow you to create video advertisements to entice new readers. Not only does this project ensure that you have a firm grasp on the story’s plot, setting, theme and main characters, it also provides an opportunity to address persuasive writing as well as digital literacy concepts like copyright and publishing. 1:30

PODCASTS
Leveraging the recording capabilities of most computers and mobile devices, students could explore the role of tone and sound by creating podcasts in the fashion of old-school radio shows. Using Garageband or any other sound recorder, you can retell portions of stories, complete with background music and sound effects, to demonstrate their understanding of tone, setting and theme, as well as practice your reading fluency. 2:00

What Our Families are Saying

"The supportive teachers at SPN played a big role in preparing me for high school and helping me understand what to expect. They encouraged me to ask questions and seek help when needed, which made me more confident in my learning. Thanks to them, I entered freshman year already familiar with many concepts and effective study habits that have helped me stay on top of my work. SPN also taught me valuable life skills that I still use today, helping me succeed academically, build strong friendships, and maintain my overall well-being."
— Tibby Horvath, SPN Class of 2022
"We are very satisfied with the SPN community, something that is important to our family. My children feel safe and comfortable with SPN. Our family feels connected with the SPN community from parents and families to the staff and faculty. My children and we as parents have made healthy and positive relationships with other families from school. We share time outside of school with other families which brings a level of connectedness I don't know if we would have elsewhere"
— SPN Parent
"My children are experiencing community in other ways than just friends and playdates. Faith Families is an example of community, interacting with students from all grade levels, and learning and creating for others outside of SPN. Field trips to Kids Against Hunger or the Alameda Food Bank where they work and see firsthand how their efforts help others less fortunate, for those who are in need of support. Community is not just our SPN ‘bubble,’ and that is what SPN demonstrates and provides– opportunity to explore a bigger community."
— SPN Parent since 2016
