Alternative Book Reports

     Students will read between 6 to 8 books, of their choice, for outside reading during the school year.  Students must have their book choice approved by the teacher. These book reports will be graded. Alternative book reports are simply:

• reading a book of your choice
• creating a prop to bring your book to life
• creating a prop rubric to grade yourself
• completing a 5x8 card with specific information about the book
• presenting the book to your peers
• grading the audience with an audience rubric
• the audience grading you with a presenter rubric

     For ideas on props, students have access to a two-drawer file cabinet with over 180 different ways to present a book. Pictures of former students, with their permission of course, are included for some of the props.

     Alternative book reports are simply fun to do!
