Writing<\/em> a book report is only one way of sharing information about what you read. Here are a few more ideas to start your brainstorming.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make a paper doll<\/strong> of the main character and explain your selection of clothing and accessories.<\/li>\n
  2. Create a paper cube.<\/strong> Star with a flat piece of paper and cut it so you have 6 sides (online you’ll find that and other chapes to copy). Show one scene on each side. Add color to make it interesting. Tape the cube (or other shape) closed.<\/li>\n
  3. Pretend to be the author.<\/strong> Answer questions about the setting of the story, the main characters, the problems in the story, and how those problems were resolved.<\/li>\n
  4. Make a poster<\/strong> adverstising the book (Like a Reading Rainbow-style presentatioin at the end of the telecast). Use words and drawng to excite others to read the book.<\/li>\n
  5. Share a cause and effect chart.<\/strong> Write\u00a0 each problem in one column, followed by a second column that shows the effect ithad on the story.<\/li>\n
  6. Answer questions as if you are the main character<\/strong> in the story.<\/li>\n
  7. Make a game.<\/strong> Create a game board that follows the story’s setting and main problems through the story in sequential order.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
