You will have eight book reports this year. You are required to do two written reports, two oral reports, two project reports, and two Accelerated Reader reports. The dates that each is due are listed below.

You need to choose a fiction, biographical, or autobiographical book of at least 150 pages at your reading level. It must be approved ahead of time by me. You may not use a book you have read previously or one that has been turned into a movie. You may turn in any book report ahead of time; since I am providing the dates this early, I will not accept any late book reports.

Book Report Schedule

Written Book Reports --The written book reports will follow  a special format , which will be handed out and explained in class, or you can click on Written Book Report  to get a copy of the form.   It may be turned in ahead of time.  

Oral Book Reports --You may not do an oral book report on a book you have already used for a written book report. The oral reports will be presented to the whole class. You may do the oral book report before the due date (which is highly recommended). Click on Oral Report for instructions and assessment criteria.

Project Book Reports --These are fun book reports, which offer a variety of ways to creatively tell about your book. You may not do the same thing for the second project that you did for the first. You will give a short (less than 2 minutes) oral presentation to explain how how you made your project and how it tells or shows about your book. Click on Project Report for the options for this type of book report and for how it will be assessed.

Accelerated Reader Book Report --Make sure to pick a book that is on the Accelerated Reader list. Finish the book and take the test on the computer as soon as you can. You will receive the grade on the book report that you get on the test. The tests assess literal comprehension, so make sure you understand what you read.
