To wrap up our final reading unit, I gave students a big list of STEAM activities that they could complete to show comprehension of their novels. My favorite is the Seek and Find Jar. It requires students to think of 7 important symbols from their novel and explain their importance. Then, students fill a jar with their objects and either beads or rice. The fun part is trying to find the hidden symbols inside the jar!
My students love craft-based projects, so this one has also been a top choice for them. The activity lends itself well to our theme and symbolism study. I may even make it a required project in the future!
