The Terrible Two Book Project 

This is an optional activity.  If you choose to create a book project, please bring it to class on the last day of the session (Oct. 29).  

“Portraits of Barkin Principals” drawn by CJ

Here are some ideas:

  • Construct a diorama of a favorite scene from the book.
  • Make your own Pranking Notebook.  Include detailed ideas for at least one prank.  Be sure to abide by Niles’ Prankster Rules and the Prankster’s Oath.
  • Read about Cows and write a Cow Facts book.  (Maybe even bring it to class in a Principal Pack!)
  • Come dressed as a character from the book.  Bring props that will help the class guess who you are.
  • Research one of the authors (Mac Barnett or Jory John) and come up with a creative way to introduce them to the class (write an oral report, create a fact poster, dress up as an author and tell about yourself).
  • Pretend you are Principal Barkin.  Write a “First Day of School” Power Speech that will inspire the students of Yawnee Valley Science and Letters Academy.  Give your speech to the class.
  • Create a travel brochure, magazine ad, or commercial about Yawnee Valley.  Include pictures and interesting facts about the town that would make people want to visit
  • Write a school newspaper for Yawnee Valley Science and Letters Academy.  Look at a real newspaper to see what types of things should be included.
  • Read about the four different compartments of a cow’s stomach, and how each compartment helps digestion. Draw a diagram and explain it to the class.
  • Or….come up with your own idea!  Write, act, draw, paint, cut, glue, build, read, report – the sky’s the limit!  The only rule is that it has to relate to the book in some way.  

I can’t wait to see what you can do!!
