EME: Esperanza Rising Projects

Mrs. Niosi's 5th-grade class at East Main Elementary School completed very creative culminating Esperanza Rising projects! The class recently completed a novel study on the book Esperanza Rising by Pam Munoz Ryan. After discussing important themes of the text, the class was given a project choice board and was able to pick what project appealed to them the most. The students completed a variety of projects from songwriting, creating a book trailer, writing alternate endings, illustrating a picture book based on the novel, writing a letter to the author, interviewing a main character from the book, and even designing and creating a board game that focuses on the novel! The students really enjoyed completing the projects! They also loved sharing their projects with each other and playing each other's board games!
