(or numbered markers) where at least six events from the novel took
place. On another sheet of paper, explain in at least two or three
sentences what happens at each place.
4. Make a video of an advertisement for "magic water" that the man in the
yellow suit might have sold. Write a paragraph summary of the
advertisement; explain how you came up with the idea for your
advertisement, and how the advertisement uses details from the novel.

illustrations. The diary must have a decorated cover, a title, dates, and
entries.
6. Illustrate five scenes from the book with original drawings or collages.
Each illustration needs a title. For each description, write a paragraph
describing what is happening in the story during that particular scene.
7. Rewrite the last chapter of the book. Change it to the way that you believe
it should have ended. Be sure to include dialogue and descriptive
language.
8. Make two puppets of characters in the book. Write a puppet show that
explains an important scene in the book. Be prepared to perform.

9. Pretend that you are a newspaper reporter and compile a list of 20

questions you would want to ask one of the Tucks. Then write a
newspaper article of the interview.

Include 10 items that are meaningful to the characters. Write a description
for each of the items and tell how it relates to a character in the book.
11. Create a picture book version of Tuck Everlasting that you will share with
the class. Your picture book should have a picture for each chapter along
with a sentence or two that describes what happens in that scene. Your
picture book should have a decorated cover, color illustrations, as well as
page numbers.
12. Examine how the author uses words to create different moods in the book.
Music also creates moods. Select music to represent five different events
and moods in the story. Create a cd or PowerPoint (with at least six
songs) that you will share this with the class. For each song, write at least
three sentences that describe the scene and how the music relates to that
scene (justification for using that song). Design and create a cd cover for
this soundtrack for Tuck Everlasting.

front of the class. Be sure that the song or rap has at least three verses
and a chorus or hook.

Treegap and the novel, Tuck Everlasting. You should have a paragraph
summary of the book, a detailed explanation of how to play the game, and
rules for it.

houses. Write at least two paragraphs that describe how the details that
