Analyze Character with Costume Design

Switch up the mundane "character trait, textual evidence, explanation" by asking your students to adapt to book into a movie set on their campus. Students act as costume designer and have to use character traits and symbolism to hit on keep traits, motivations, relationships, and themes.

Students responded very positively to this assignment. I had a lot of kids telling me both in person and via the Edmodo login that it was fun.

Sample from a student's analysis of A Midsummer Night's Dream:

One way I would modify it in the future is request student use at least one piece of textual evidence per slide.
