Abecedariums
An abecedarium is a creative way to review any text. Ask students to fold a large piece of paper so that it forms a minimum of 24 squares (could be front and back of the piece of paper). Then they write a letter in each box for each letter of the alphabet. You can give the option for students to only complete 24 of the 26 letters (they may skip 2 letters such as X and Z). Then instruct students to pick an appropriate character name, theme, or symbol to represent each letter of the alphabet. Students must then write a detailed description/explanation for each word. This example abecedarium is for Shakespeare's Macbeth.
