On Friday, October 31, seventh grade students at Frederick D. Thomas Middle School celebrated the completion of their first English Language Arts (ELA) unit by sharing creative book projects that reflected their independent reading. The project presentations gave students an opportunity to demonstrate comprehension, creativity, and communication skills while connecting more deeply with the books they had read during the first marking period.
Many students designed “pizza box book reviews,” using each section of a pizza box to represent different story elements such as plot, characters, and themes. Others took a multimedia approach, producing advertisement-style videos to promote their chosen books or newspaper-inspired articles that captured key events and lessons from their stories.
Students enjoyed exploring the variety of formats and perspectives their classmates brought to their projects. The activity not only marked the close of the first marking period but also encouraged students to think critically about literature and express their understanding in imaginative ways.
