Grab Bag Book Report


      

     You are going to do a “Grab Bag Book Report”.  You will select objects that are vehicles for retelling your story.  Put them in a bag and pull out each object one by one, explaining how the object relates to the story. 
 
I require the following:
 
•    at least six objects, and for the following purposes – one which represents the setting, two for the main character, two for the plot, and one for the conflict of the story
 
•    one paragraph written ahead of time about each object, put on an index card
 
•    bag has title and author, and has at least one illustration.  If possible, pick an appropriate bag, such as a duffle bag for an athlete, or a suitcase for a main character who has just moved, etc. (This may not be possible, but TRY.)
 
•    time limit of 5-7 minutes – show evidence of having rehearsed the book talk
