    do a poetry unit! My students loved this. We read Love That Dog together while we studied and wrote the diff. types of poems. I also have them memorize a Frost poem: "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening".
    One idea for a book project I like to do is the Post-It Note project. I give the kids 25 post-it notes. ( Some want to buy their own.) On the notes,as they read, they are to use the strategies they've learned:
    I wonder..
    Why did...
    I picture...
    Make connections.
    Write down any words they don't know and look them up.
    Make inferences.
    There are many more, but hopefully you get the idea.
    From these notes, I can tell whether they've read the book. I will warn you: it does take time to read the notes, and I try to respond to many of the notes.
