For an alternative book report I chose to have students Draw a scene. Below are the instructions as well as my attempt at doing the assignment. I chose to draw a scene from the book that I read this week The Devil’s Arithmetic.

Draw a scene. If you are artistic, think of an important scene and draw it the way you see it. Place the characters in the scene too and then figure out where you were in relation to the characters when you read the book. Then write or tape your explanations of why you drew the scene the way you did and why you think you were where you were in the scene. What does it tell you about who you related to in the novel?
