Extra Credit- Students may complete a book report on any book they have read as extra credit. The report must include a cover page and should be written using one of the formats they have learned in class. An example would be to write an informational letter to a publisher explaining events of the story from the author's standpoint. This encourages students to recognize author's purpose, context and story sequencing, while practicing a writing format. It is important that they recognize the real-world uses of writing. |
