Mystery Bag Book Reports

In October, we explored the "Mystery" genre.  The students enjoyed learning about the elements of a mystery.  When they finished their books, they were given the assignment to create a "Mystery Bag Book Report".  They needed to create a new cover, describe a "grabbing moment" and  list the elements of a mystery.   They also needed to include three concrete items that represented parts of their story.  Each student had a turn to present their projects to the class.  Th is gave them an opportunity to practice their public speaking skills.  Hope you enjoy the pics of some of our presenters!
