American Dream Project
Tie all of your novels together for a great end of year project!!This is a simple idea for an in-depth American Dream project.

FREEBIE The Once and Future King Roundtable Cafe
I use roundtable cafes often in my classes to give students ownership of the information they're studying.

It's a wonderful day for me because I only moderate discussion and it allows me to truly get a feel for how the students are processing literature.
