“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.

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

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.

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 –

include only the plot and main ideas.
Circle 12 – Write a paragraph describing CONNECTIONS from this book to your
