Book Balls (dodecahedrons, really) have become somewhat of a rite of passage at the 8th grade level. During the 3rd quarter, each student selected a novel, read it, and completed 12 different tasks related to the literature, such as writing a theme statement, identifying literary devices, providing a character analysis, etc. Each task is recorded inside a pentagon surrounded by a circle. Once all twelve tasks are completed, students cut out the circles and fold along the lines of the pentagons to create tabs that are then glued together, creating a “book ball”, which is displayed at Aplington for others to see.
