Situation: Independent reading is a must for our students. However, in order to promote reading but give freedom in choices, we need to implement current and relevant projects for our students. Book reports are a thing of the past. Even I cringe when I hear the words.
Problem: In order to give our student freedom of choices, we need to set up a project(s) that allow for creativity but also ensure original, genuine work.

Adobe Spark Video
Making a video using Adobe Spark is a great tool. Students are able to record their voices. This is a wonderful option for students and teachers. Many students are not comfortable speaking in front of their peers. This is a perfect gateway to get them started. This tool is also helpful for teachers. Presentations can sometimes eat up valuable class time. These are submitted through their website and can be graded at anytime.
