(Trimester 1 Book Report & Project)

Trimester 1 BOOK REPORT & PROJECT

It is time to begin your first book report project! 
​The book report project has two parts, a written summary and a fun art project.
Due Date: Wednesday, October 30

Book Selection

  • You will have 2-3 weeks to read any fiction chapter book of your choice that is within your AR reading range.  Your job for the next 2-3 weeks is to read your book at school and at home. 

Book Report Summary

  • After you have finished reading your book, you will write a summary for your book report. We will develop an outline to organize your thoughts for your book report in class using  the S-W-B-S-T notes method. 
  • At home, you will write the first draft and final draft of your summary. For the final book report, you will write your summary on a separate sheet of lined paper or computer-typed in a Pages or Word document (16 font /double-spaced). Be sure to include a book report heading at the top of your page.

Art Project: Diorama-in-the-Round

  • The project for this book is to create a Diorama-in-the-Round. You will complete this fun project at home.
  • Take some time and decide on a favorite scene from your book. Create the scene for your diorama. The main character must be in your scene. Make sure your book report relates to the scene in some way!
  • You will be given the circle template at school. First, it is important to reinforce the fold with Duck Brand duct tape to hold the fold at 90° and to strengthen the base.
  • Be creative with your materials! Look for old wrapping paper or magazine photos for the background. Use small items from around your house or room to add details and textures. You can make stand-up characters and objects using tag paper.
  •  Be sure to include your name, book title, and author on your project
