Book reports will be assigned monthly by genre. Each book report also has a
project assigned. A clearly written rubric will be sent home for both the
report and the project. In fact, the rubric is used all year long and does
not change. We will complete the first two book reports in class so that
modeling can be done before they are assigned as an at-home project.
The goal is to write a three paragraph review about the book
without giving away the entire plot or ending. The illustration for the
cover of your written report must be drawn by you! Do not print graphics
from the computer or simply scan the cover. Only original drawings will be
accepted. Follow the rubric and review the sample and you will do fine.
These projects will completed at home but presented in class. It is
important that I see your child actively engaged in reading each day and not
at the bookshelf picking a book to read day after day. We still will have
visits to the Media Center. At this time each student is encouraged to pick
two books. This way they will always have a book at hand.
