Book Boxes Strategy

This strategy works best with grades K-2 and ELL Learners.

1. The student reads a book
2. The student picks a box, basket, bag, can, something to hold objects. They decorate it with the name of the book, pictures, and words.
3. The students then place 3-5 objects/pictures in the box with a copy of the book. They include a paper saying why they put in the item they did.
4. They share with others.

This can be done as:

• Author boxes
• Autobiography boxes
• Poetry boxes
• Biography boxes
• Theme boxes

Allow for freedom of expression!!!
