The Waves Activities & Classroom Projects

Fun Classroom Activities

The 20 enjoyable, interactive classroom activities that are included will help your students understand the text in amusing ways. Fun Classroom Activities include group projects, games, critical thinking activities, brainstorming sessions, writing poems, drawing or sketching, and more that will allow your students to interact with each other, be creative, and ultimately grasp key concepts from the text by "doing" rather than simply studying.

1. Acting

The text's opening section provides a wide variety of monologues by each character. Have the class volunteer and pick roles, and act out the scene. Encourage them to stand up and really act rather than simply reading aloud from their seats.

2. Write like Woolf

Try and compose a fully developed story that is told entirely through the interior monologues of its characters. Remember the differences between interior monologues and simple monologues. Interior monologues are the inner-workings of a character's mind.
