Creative Catalog

This idea comes from Chris' book Better Than Book Reports. Students create an original catalog of items for sale based on ideas they formulate after reading a short story or book.

The Creative Catalog pages seen here were created by Chris' seventh graders after they read Gary Soto's short story "Seventh Grade." Students brainstormed product ideas they though would help 7th graders not only survive 7th grade but thrive!
