“Bloom Ball” Book Report
Mystery Book Title: _________________________
Throughout the next few weeks, we’ll be working on a unique book report both in class and as homework (ONLY 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 17 ~ Students select a mystery novel from the library ~ divide the total # of pages by 10 = pages to read each day for 10 days, excluding weekends.
Tuesday, June 1 ~ Book is read by now and Mr. Bartraw introduces the rest of the project.
Wednesday, June 9 ~ 6 circles completed in TOTAL.
Wednesday, June 16 ~ DUE DATE! ALL 12 circles should be finished and you are prepared to present your 4 favourite circles. Looks like this...
|
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 in class.
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. All information is to be hand written / printed.
