A different method for novel study.
Each student (or pair of students) receives an A5 envelope with instructions pasted on the outside. Inside the envelope are 4 x A5 index cards, on which the students record all information, according to the instructions. At the end of the novel study, the students share their knowledge. This can be done in groups or as a presentation. This approach allows the students to focus on specific themes / characters etc as they work through the novel. There are instructions for 26 envelopes.
I have included the A4 pages on which the procedure / explanation is typed for each student. This will lead to a summative assessment - a literary essay on the topic given on the envelope.
Credit: the idea for this task came from Letitia Hughes of Kentucky, USA.

So much fun
I love the fact that you have designed a collaborative activity that explores challenging ideas and textual conventions. The envelopes are presented in highly appealing way. Thanks, Tanya.
