General Information:
All book reports will be assigned within 2 weeks or more before the due date. Because these are long-term projects, students will be reminded to pace themselves accordingly. Reminders will go home in their homework book. The first two reports are geared to give the students assistance with writing all aspects of a book report. A form is given to the students to assist them. All books will need to be approved by me. Some book reports will require a rough copy which will be due 2 weeks prior to the final copy due date. A rubric (scoring sheet) will be sent home. This will describe my expectations for each book report.
Book Reports:
1. Chapter Book- Fiction- A ghost book report form is used for this report. The students need to fill in the information for the author, characters, and setting (where and when the story takes place). They will also need to state the specific details of the events that happened in the story.
