Week one       Write the title of your book, author, and genre.

Week two       Write the setting of the story and the main characters on your plot line

Week three    Write the climax of the story, steps to resolution, resolution

Week four      Finalize your report by writing sentences for new words, and your book review.  Draw your favorite scene in the story.

 

Ongoing          After each chapter, write on a sticky note the main idea for the chapter. Place

                        at the beginning of the chapter.  If you find a new word you would like to use

                        in your report, write the word and page number.  This way you can go back

                        to it later.

 

Check in with your teacher each week that you have met the requirements for your book report.  It is never a wise choice to wait until the last minute.
