October Book Report!
Wow!  This cold weather means jackets are being pulled out of closets everywhere.  In fact, we're going to create jackets for our books this month.  The Book Report for October is to be done on any book the students' parents approve of (Free Choice!).  The report format for October will be as follows:
  • Fold a piece of plain, white paper (cardstock would work great!) in half (hamburger style: side-to-side) and create an original, colorful, attractive cover for the book you read.  It should have an illustration which would grab the reader.  Also include the Title and Author (as well as Illustrator, if there is one.)
  • On the back, write a 1-2 paragraph summary of what happens in the story without giving away the ending.  Also include a small illustration on the back.
  • Make up and include 2-3 pretend quotes from book reviewers such as:  "This book was incredible!  Couldn't put it down!" -Harry Reedsallot
Book Reports are due October 28.  Have fun!
