We Are Hungry For Reading!

The students were to choose a book in their "Lexile Range" knowing they would be doing a book report on it.  They had no idea what the book report would look like!  Today was the day of the "Big Reveal"!  What would their assignment be?? 

CHEESEBURGER Book Reports!

Even though they are the oldest kids in the school, they are still kids! They love to cut, color and glue. They LOVED this project. I thought I would need to give several days for them to complete it. Boy, was I wrong! They wanted to keep working and working. So, we put on some Christmas music and went to work.

First, a little reading....



Next, a "First Draft"followed with some editing for correct spelling, scentence structure and punctuation.  The reports included story elements: plot, genre, characterization, setting and conclusion.  They were also asked what their favorite part of the book was and ......WHY?   Finally, coloring and assembly of the cheeseburger.  These were written directions.....that's right!  A following directions exercise, too!

 They were so happy with their "Final Products".  There were a lot of smiles as big as this one,,,, including mine!
