At
least 2 high-quality book projects are due each trimester to meet the
academic standard. 4 or more
high-quality book projects are required to exceed the academic standard.
This equates to approximately one book project turned in each month.
Except for the first book project, students will read their book project
books independently. They may use books that are read both at home and
at school.
Students
will be required to complete a book project on one biography book each
trimester.
The
books read for book projects must be at least 100 pages in length. Additionally,
only 1 book from an author or a series (such as Goosebumps, Babysitters
Club, Harry Potter, etc.) may be read during a trimester. No Captain
Underpants books will be accepted for book summary projects.
All
book summary projects will need to demonstrate knowledge of the elements
of a story.
Below
is a link that will take you to all of the directions for the different
types of book projects:
Each trimester,
students must complete the following book summary projects:
|
First
Trimester
- 1
PowerPoint presentation on a fiction book that is read together
in class (so students will know exactly what I expect their
projects to look like).
- 1
PowerPoint presentation on a biography book that students
will receive in class.
|
|
Second
Trimester
- 1
Oral Presentation (with visual aides) to the class
- 1
PowerPoint Presentation
|
|
Third
Trimester
- 1
Oral Presentation (with visual aides) to the class
- 1
PowerPoint Presentation
|
During the first trimester, I will structure
the book summary projects so that all students can be successful &
learn how to do them.
