Reading Responses
Rather than give a short written summary of articles, I prefer to have students respond to the reading in a number of creative ways. Drawing, making, reflecting - combined with art making. Often I give them a choice of how to respond: either through a written summary or the art project. 99% of the time they choose the art project.

Handmade ThinkingThis is a set of 21 different layouts that students can use to visually describe or explain a text. The instructions on how to use these is here. I actually like this video below that shows them and talks a bit about them:
