Hold a literature fair at the school and/or county level. Students create a backboard project board based on a set of judging criteria to showcase a book they have read. Students may enter their projects in competition similar to a Science or Social Studies Fair at the school- or county-level.
First place projects may enter a regional fair experience currently held at Glenville State College and West Liberty University.
