Sadly, we have completed reading the novel Maniac
Magee. I can state with confidence the fact that my students thoroughly enjoyed the book. Instead of a traditional test, I am giving students a theme-based project. This project will assess students comprehension of the novel as well as their synthesis of a specific theme throughout the story. Below, please find a description of the final project.
Step 1:
Pick one theme from the story Maniac
Magee (friendship, family, education, racism, home). Select 4 events that illustrate this theme and neatly draw a colored picture of each scene.
Step 2:
Write a brief paragraph proving how each event shows your theme.
This project will be due on Friday February 20
