READING - 

“Bloom Ball” Book Report

Bloomball book report samples 

Name: _____________    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:

Tuesday, May 21 ~ 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.

 

Monday, June 3 ~ your book is read by now and Mr. Bartraw introduces the rest of the project.

 

Tuesday, June 11 ~ 6 circles completed in TOTAL.

 

Wednesday, June 19 ~ DUE DATE! ALL 12 circles MUST 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 in class.

Each student will be given 12 circles. It would be a good idea to write all the information on blank paper and proofread it before transferring to the circles.  All information is to be handwritten / printed.
