Independent homework ideas:

Some ideas of what to do for the Independent Homework


Generally speaking, you will have to pick two of these- I figure you’ll spend anywhere from two to three hours PER WEEK on your project.


Projects that have been done in the past by other students:

  • Journaling
  • Build a Little Library
  • Read a book
  • Read a magazine
  • Develop a website
  • Act/participate in a play or musical
  • Go to a play or musical
  • Write a letter to the newspaper
  • Participate in a club
  • Write an article about:
    • A sporting event
    • A restaurant
    • A movie
    • A topic of your choice
  • Research a hero and write a paper on it
  • Research any topic of your choice
  • Present information that has been researched to the class
  • Present information that has been researched to the rest of the student body
  • Start a petition and get students to sign it
  • Write the script for a short film
  • Act and shoot a short film
  • Do a music video
  • Pen pal
  • WRITE
o   Write poetry
o   Write fiction
o   Write non-fiction


No matter what you choose, make sure to clear it with Schachter within two weeks of the start of each quarter.


*I also have some worksheets that you can choose to do if you are having a hard time figuring out what you want to work on.
