By now I'm sure you have
heard about your child's individual book project. Here is all the info you
need.
All students will do the
following:
*(10 points) Be on task and
work diligently during reading time.
*(10 points) Create a
glossary of 10 words and definitions from the book. They must include the
sentence in context FROM THE BOOK.
*(10 points) Write a summary
of the book that includes at least 6 sentences (make sure it is a beginning,
middle, end) format. Include the 6 elements of plot (think plot
structure).
*(10 points) Write 2
inferences about the main character and support it with evidence from the book.
*(50 points) Complete a
creative project to help further explain the book. There are several project
options for the students to choose from. I encourage you to look over the
options with your child and help them decide which project works best for them.
*(10 points) Present their
project to the class with appropriate volume, speed, and knowledge of
subject.
The students will have a
full month to read the book and complete their reports and projects. This will
count as two reading grades. Kids will be making presentations of their projects
to the class. I have attached a list of project options. Thank you so much for
your support, I can't wait to see what the students come up with. I have such a
creative class this year!
