Project 5
Tell It How It Is
Artifact Box
Create a divided Circle Map telling
the story in the point of view of
two main characters and yourself.
In a decorated shoebox, you will
place at least 10 objects that
represent the story and describe their
significance.
You
Character 1
Character 2
Draw a circle map and divide it
into three equal sections. In the
frame, place the name of one
character per section. In the third
section, place your name. From
the point of view of the chosen
character, describe the events that
took place in the story. Please use
complete sentences and make
sure that you include evidence
from the novel for all of the ideas
that you place on the circle map.
After reading the story, think of at
least 10 objects that represent the
main characters, setting, theme, or
events of the plot. You will then use
a separate index card for each object
to label the object and then you will
write at least two sentences that
provide evidence as to why you
chose this object in representing the
novel. All of the objects will be
neatly placed in a shoebox that has
been decorated with the novel title,
author, and at least one picture.

Summary
Connection
Visualize
Clarify
Questioning
After reading your book, create a
poster that depicts all 6 of the
comprehension strategies. Make
sure you title each section, write in
your best writing, use complete
sentences, and show your understanding of the text. Use evidence
from the novel where appropriate.
Prediction: What do you think will happen next in the
story? What will happen in the years to come? Why?
Summary: Tell the most important parts of the story without going into too much detail. Do not tell EVERYTHING
that happened, just the main ideas.
After reading the story, think of one
event, idea, character, plot point, or
other element from the book that
represents each letter of the
alphabet. Once you have that
element thought of, you must
explain the importance of said
element as well as present evidence
from the book. Include a picture for
each letter entry.
Example:
ABCs of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
A is for Apple
Connection: How does this story relate to something that
you have read before, something you saw in the real
world, or something that happened to you?
Snow white ate a poisonous apple that she was
given by a little old lady. The lady was really her evil
stepmother in disguise. The stepmother wanted to kill Snow
White because she was very beautiful.
Visualize: Take the most important part of the story and
draw a picture of it. Use as much detail as you can. Underneath, write a sentence or two describing the scene
and telling why it is important to the story.
B is for Banishment
Clarify: List out at least 5 words that you weren’t sure of
as you were reading. Using vocabulary strategies, clarify
the words by writing your own definitions.
Questioning: As you read, write down questions that are
lingering in your head. As they are answered by your
reading, write the answers down. List any unanswered
questions as well.
The evil stepmother banished Snow White from the
kingdom because she was jealous of Snow White’s beauty.
Your final project should be in book format with a book cover, a title page, and
26 letter pages.
You must create three separate
character webs describing three
main characters in your novel.
You must include at least 5
branches for each character
web, using only ADJECTIVES to
describe the character traits.
You will then include evidence
from the story that supports
why you chose the specific
adjective to describe the
character.
