A Wrinkle in Time Think-Tac-Toe

Students in Advanced Language Arts read the Newbery Award winning novel A Wrinkle in Time and completed activities from a think-tac-toe student choice project.   Students were able to choose from nine options, each of which was based on one of Gardner's Multiple Intelligences.  Photographs of some of the projects are below.  Other projects included movie trailers for the book as well as additional musical performances based on events in the novel.  I am very proud of my students for all of their hard work!
