 * == Use wordle to highlight 8-10 unfamiliar or interesting words from your text. Look up the dictionary meanings and present a glossary of these words beneath the wordle. ==


 * Visit [|the Inside A Dog website] ** to find a scaffold for writing a review of your text. Upload it there and on your wiki page. Your review needs to include: the title of the text, who the author is, what the text is about, the best thing about the text, what you don't like about the text, and any other recommendations or thoughts you have. It also needs to have a star rating. This activity is compulsory and each group member must complete their own review.**


 * **Creative writing: an alternative ending, an interview with a character, a series of poems inspired by the text, a script for a key scene, a character's diary entries, etc. Choose a form of writing you enjoy and go for it. Plan and draft up to good copy presentation.**
 * **Author biography: Who is the creative master behind the text you have read? Find out about them and present their biography - in your own words.**


 * == Create a trivia quiz based on your text. Aim for a minimum of 10 questions. You need to prepare an answer sheet to accompany your questions. ==
 * ** Blog it: Demonstrate your communication expertise by joining our Insideadog book group and presenting 3 or more blog posts. The posts can be work that you have already completed for the wiki and want to show off or explanations of your thoughts about your text. You can discuss character likes and dislikes, the writing style of the author, how you would change the story, how topics and events in the text can relate to the real world, etc. **


 * 'The sky's the limit - or not?' Complete an activity completely of your making. It could be a diorama, a collage, a character showbag, a text response essay, anything you like. ** You could also visit the Cool Tools For School or Getting Tricky with Wikis sites and discover a new web 2.0 tool to use to develop a response. **


 * ** Oral presentation: Each group will present a minimum 5 minute digital showcase to the class. During the showcase the group will talk about their text and activties they have completed for the assignment. Each member of the group will need to outline their review ratings and aspects they liked or disliked about the text. This activity is compulsory. **

= = = = =If you complete your book crew studies early you could have a lot of fun developing an MSC book song. There are a number of songs already developed and available to use or you might like to develop one from scratch to one of your favourite tunes. For those studying media, this is also a fanatastic cross-curriculum activity. You might like to consider this task for one of your media projects. Flip cameras are available to loan if needed.=
