End-of-Unit Creative Writing Project. This low-prep, end-of-unit creative writing project is an engaging alternative to a traditional summative test. Students will write ten journal entries from Benjamin's point of view, exploring the character's internal state throughout the course of the novel. This assessment requires more than basic plot summary; it encourages students to analyze a character's relationships, emotions, fears, motivations, and more. Included are the following:
Detailed directions, which include a rationale for the project, a rundown of student expectations, and a list of learning standards emphasized
A thorough, standards-based rubric for grading student writing, which aligns evaluative criteria to Common Core standards and includes a section for written teacher feedback
A set of prewriting documents, which may be completed while or after reading each chapter, to facilitate planning for the end-of-unit project
An "Important Quotations" document to help students explore style and tone
