“Bloom Ball” Book Report



Name: _____________    Mystery Book Title: _________________________



Throughout the next 20 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:


Thursday, May 17 ~ Book is read by now and Mr. Bartraw introduces the project in class.

Friday, May 25 ~ 5 circles completed in TOTAL.

Friday, June 1 ~ 10 circles completed in TOTAL.

Tuesday, June 5 ~ DUE DATE! ALL 12 circles should be finished and you are prepared to present your 4 favourite circles by JUNE 6 due to track meet.




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:

  • Do not write or draw on the outside of the lines.
  • Write answers, sentences and paragraphs on another sheet of paper first and proofread.  When satisfied with your answer, rewrite it on the circle. 
  • Assembling “Bloom Ball”
    • Fold each circle on the lines so that the folds are facing up.  Be sure to decorate the entire circle on all 12 sections before assembling ball.
    • When all questions have been completed, and all the edges have been folded up you may glue (no tape or staples) the circles together.  BE SURE THAT ALL EDGES ARE FACING UP AROUND YOUR PICTURE OR PARAGRAPHS.
  • Presentation of your project will factor into the grading. The ball should be fully colored and visually “interesting” with drawings (or drawings in the entire background, as discussed in class), but the most important aspect is what is written in the circles.






In order to complete this project, you’ll need to complete 12 circles with the following information on each circle. The BOLD words are to be written on the borders of your pentagons.


Circle 1 – Colorfully write the name and author of your book.  Also write your first and last name on this circle. MY BOOK

Circle 2 – Draw a picture or map of the setting of your story.  Label it. SETTING

Circle 3 – List at least 10 unique or unusual words (VOCABULARY) that the author used in this book.

Circle 4 – List 3 problems faced by your main character. Use complete sentences. PROBLEMS

Circle 5 – Write a poem about the story.  The poem can be a rhyming one or free verse, haiku, acrostic poem, a “shape” poem, etc.  Your choice. POEM

Circle 6 – Write a paragraph telling your opinion of this book in one circle.  Tell why you would or would not recommend it to a friend. RECOMMENDATION

Circle 7 – Write one word in large letters that describes the THEME of your story. Explain your theme underneath this word. (Example: HONESTY – my book is mainly about the theme of honesty since Aiden, my main character, is dishonest to his friends and family by… Later, Aiden realizes that telling the truth is important because…)

Circle 8 – Describe the main character in your story. M.C.
                    ~ Include a NAME – first and last, if possible.
                    ~  Also, write about the physical (looks, age, height, clothing, facial features,
                        hair,…) characteristics.
                    ~ Write a few personality characteristics (Examples: courageous, risk-taker,
                       adventurous, anxious, intelligent, a good problem solver, humorous, thoughtful,
                       careful, likeable, hard-working, easily frightened, determined, conflicted, helpful,
                       generous, personable, curious…) in your description.

Circle 9 – Draw the CLIMAX (point of most intense action) of the book. Add a detailed
                 caption, telling what is happening.

Circle 10 – In one paragraph write a different ending to the story. NEW ENDING

Circle 11 – Write a SUMMARY of the book – include only the plot and main ideas.

Circle 12 – Write a paragraph describing CONNECTIONS from this book to your life. 




Remember to start working each day on a new circle. Write with your absolute best effort and sufficient detail.


Have fun with this mystery book project! Due June 6, 2018.
