Since 1998, readers from around the world have been captivated with the mystery, adventure novel, Holes, written by Louis Sachar. Whether it is the intriguing plot, the unforgettable characters, or the humorous style of writing, there is so much to love about this novel.
For this project, students complete 12 activities related to Holes (Stanley, Zero, X-Ray, The Warden, Mr. Sir, Mr. Pendanski, Katherine Barlow, Camp Green Lake, God's Thumb, The Curse) and construct a 12-sided polyhedron called a dodecahedron to showcase their learning. These can be hung from the ceiling and are beautiful on display.
For each pentagon, students are asked to answer the guiding questions and complete the challenges through conducting research. To communicate their learning, students write and draw pictures within each pentagon. After completing the 12 pentagons, students follow step-by-step instructions to construct their dodecahedrons.

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a student-centered pedagogy in which students are challenged to actively learn about a subject for an extended period of time. It is a form of active learning or inquiry-based learning. Project-Based Learning is in contrast to paper-based, rote memorization, or teacher-led instruction that presents established facts. Please be aware of what you are purchasing.
Thanks so much,

This was so great. I kept some for future examples. The students want to do more on different novels now.
Last year was the first year that I was doing Holes as a novel study, and this resource was so great and helpful. Unfortunately, I didn't get to use the whole resource because the novel study was pulled from my board and we were required to stop mid-novel.
After completing the novel, it's a great project to demonstrate student understanding.
My students are loving Holes by Louis Sachar. This resource is great to dig a little deeper into the story, and to give students something to complete that's different.
This was such a great and engaging resource. My students absolutely loved it!
