February Book Report

February Book Report

Biography

The puppet shows were a lot of fun and reading the same book as a friend helped students explore new books. Please remember that book reports should be your best work because you’ve had a month to work on them. The February book report is on a biography.  Pick a book that you have not read before.

The book report will be as follows:

Pick a biography (a book written about the life of a person) and read and study it. On February 29^th 2012 all fifth graders will become a ‘wax museum’.  You will come to school prepared to act like and dressed like the subject of the biography you read.  You will have a name plaque and a ‘button’. When this ‘button’ is pushed you will give a prepared speech about your subject including important details about their lives.  We will be inviting parents and 3^rd and 4^th graders to visit our ‘wax museum’.

Don’t put this assignment off!  It will be due on Wednesday February 29th 2012.  It will be worth 20 points.

Good luck!
