Speak/Symbolism/Theme Project 
Working in groups of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 (if your team has five members), create a product that answers an essential question evident in Speak, uses symbolism from Speak, and relates a important/centeral theme from Speak. This product may be anything from a model to a play to a film to a song to a game to a graphic novel to a . . . wow. The possibilities are endless. You may work as a team, or break up your team into smaller groups to do multiple projects.
