Any creative project ideas over the book To Kill a Mockingbird or The Count of Monte Cristo?

My friend had to do the same thing about a month ago. She got a small cardboard box and made a little stage type thing with a curtain and everything. inside the box, she constructed her favorite scene from the book out of material she had found out of an old doll house like mini chairs and stuff. It looked really cool and i'm pretty sure she got an A. Oh, and she made it look like a set for a play or movie and added little lights around the edges. She also cut out the sides and only left the bottom and back. Using some popsicles and more cardboard, she made the curtain thing and used a little piece of cloth she bought from Joann's to make the curtain. Hope this helps. :D
