After reading a historical fiction novel, the 7th graders are in the process of creating literary food trucks. During the project the students are practicing the skills of analyzing the theme, characters, events and author’s craft. The students will explain their key decisions about their food truck name, menu, staff, food truck location, music, design, and marketing based on elements from their book. The students are currently in the workshop phase of this project, and the completed project will include a poster of their food truck, along with an explanatory paper that will include their analysis of their novel that clearly explains all their decisions.
