CHALLENGE ENRICHMENT PROJECT: INTERACTIVE BOOK REPORT

  • You’ll need a notebook to complete this project. 
  • Begin numbering both fronts and backs of your pages. Page one will be your title page. Write the title and author on this page. Once you’ve finished reading the story, come back to this page and draw a picture you think best fits the story. 
  • Print out a copy of the map on page 9 of this document. Tape or glue the map to pages 2 and 3 of your notebook. If you use a smaller composition notebook, you can fold it in half and just glue it to one side. 
  • Begin answering questions and completing activities on page 5 of your notebook. Label each section as the pages of this document are labeled (e.g., Chapters 3 & 4). Add section titles and the corresponding page numbers to your table of contents as you work through the project.
