Using different types of activities to talk about book is a great way to make kids excited about what they're doing. Book reports and papers get really tiring and kids generally dislike doing things like this. I think using artistic methods is one of the best ways to get kids to really pay attention to what they're reading. I remember doing dioramas in school to model a part of a book. I loved doing things like that.
