I love "alternative assessments" --any assignment in which a student chooses to create a response to a question or task...
...Which is why the Independent Reading Project in my class veers from the traditional book report: while Part I does ask students to analyze the elements of what was read (examine characters; setting; conflict; sequence), Part II gives a choice in creative elements, such as illustrate the climax; write a book review; dramatize an incident; create an advertisement.
What value do you feel there is to alternate assessments in reading? What other creative projects can you think of to do in relation to reading class?
