Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students record basic bibliographic information about the novel (author, genre, publishing date) in complete written responses.
Students build vocabulary by recording ten new words encountered in 'Project Hail Mary' alongside their meanings.
Students evaluate the novel by identifying a favourite chapter, explaining their reasoning, and writing a personal review with a rating.
Students compose three first-person diary entries from the point of view of a chosen character, describing distinct scenes from the novel.
Teaching tips
Assign the two vocabulary lists as an ongoing log while students read, rather than all at once after finishing the novel.
Use the favourite-chapter and review sections as a comprehension check before moving to the creative diary-writing task.
Walk through the diary assignment together before writing, since each of the three entries should revisit a different chapter from the chosen character's viewpoint.
Assign this novel study as a post-reading or end-of-unit activity once students have finished 'Project Hail Mary.'
