Book Report

Next Wednesday is the due date for the very first book report of the school year. Students have been given over 4 weeks to read a book and complete a visual and written summary of the book. Below is a detailed description of the assignment and the rubric. Good Luck!

The purpose of this assignment is to tell the plot of your book through pictures.


Procedure:

1. Number 1 - 8 on a piece of paper. Write down, in order of occurrence, the 8 most important events that take place in your book.


2. Leaving space for the title of your book and the author's name, (which you will need to include somewhere on your poster board), divide your poster board into 8 squares to match the number of important events.

3. Now draw your story's plot, using the squares to tell your story in chronological order. Color your pictures. ****Under each picture, write a brief explanation of your picture. (Explain what's happening in your picture) These short explanations should be in final draft form and 2-3 sentences long.

4. Since you won't be able to tell your entire story through your poster board, (you will just be focusing on the main events of your story from beginning to almost the end) you also need to write (in final draft form!) a complete one page summary of your book, which you will give me the day you present your book report.


5. On Wednesday, September 28th, we will begin oral presentations of the poster boards. Your grade will also include your speaking skills. Remember to speak clearly, loudly enough for all to hear, and slowly enough so we can follow along and understand what you are saying. Eye contact is also very important! Please practice your presentation before class!
