Videos, Animations, Games: Choose Your Own Mystery Projects

Axel's Gamestar Mechanic Creation has tons of book tie-ins.

Some people enjoy making and starring in videos while others prefer to write a story. Some are up for a new tech challenge like designing their own animation or video game while others like timelines and charts.

Sixth grade had the chance to choose how they would honor the mystery book of their choice with our latest Language Arts Assignment: Mystery Choices Menu. Mrs. Bibayoff's Core class took a closer look at the projects (there were more than 40 digital submissions from her Core class alone) to rate which ones were the best of the best! Here are the top best nominations:
