L. ARTS...
- all students have signed out a mystery book from the library and should be finish that book by Monday, May 15th.
~ We are analyzing our Mystery Books by using an all-encompassing "Bloom Ball."
“Bloom Ball”
Book Report
Name: _____________ Mystery Book Title: _________________________
Throughout the next 15 days, we’ll be working on a unique
book report both in class and as homework (if necessary). The key to successfully completing this
project is to keep up with your reading “circles.” Later, we will present our 4
favourite sections of our Bloom Balls.
Here is the timeline
for this project:
Monday, May 15 ~ Book is read by now and Mr. Bartraw
introduces the project in class.
Friday, May 19 ~ 5 circles completed in TOTAL.
Friday, May 26 ~ 10 circles completed in TOTAL.
Tuesday, May 30 ~ DUE DATE! ALL 12 circles should be
finished and you are prepared to present your 4 favourite circles.
|
The above dates are given as a guide, the only 2 mandatory
dates are the book approval and final project due date. The report will be graded for both reading
and writing on the rating scale provided.
Each student will be given 12 circles. It would be a good
idea to write all information on blank paper and having it proofread before
transferring to the circles. You may not
type report information.
Things to remember:

it to a friend. RECOMMENDATION
