[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AP Lang teacher here who has assigned two "One Pagers" this year for nonfiction books we read. These include images and borders, but the kids are not graded on the quality of their art. They are graded on their choice of quotes, analysis, etc. We do a ton of essay writing in this class, but I need some way to motivate/hold them accountable for reading whole books beyond discussions. Writing another two to three page paper on an entire book would only result in a superficial analysis, and I don't have time to assign a longer paper. It gives variety to the class and many of the kids LOVE the opportunity to get creative. I understand that all don't like it, but when you give a variety of assignments, some will be happier than others all of the time. [/quote] So give them choices. Let the writers write and let the artists draw. [/quote] Or have your kid just do the assigned assignment. [/quote]
