Book Reports

 
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.

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.

October's book report has been assigned.  The genre is adventure and the 
project will be a book jacket.
