Book+Reports

media type="custom" key="9672244" Students in my Reading classes will be required to complete a variety of book reports throughout the school year. Students in grades 3, 4, and 5 will be asked to complete a minimum of one book report each grading period. Books must be chapter books of at least 75 pages for 3rd grade, 100 pages for 4th grade, and 125 pages for 5th grade. The first book of each quarter will be selected by the teacher and will be discussed in our weekly Literature Circles. I will notify parents in advance with the name of the book and the date it will be needed in class. The second book report is the students' free choice but the book must be approved by the teacher in advance and the student must not have tested on it with ARP.

Each report will consist of two parts: 1) Written report or project, and 2) Oral Presentation. Each part of the report will be graded separately. Rubrics will be provided for students so that they will know exactly how their reports will be graded. You will be able to find copies of the rubrics on the Files link.

The project aspect of the reports will vary slightly dependent on the student's grade level. A copy of the written directions and any templates a student may need will be sent home when the project is assigned (approximately 2-3 weeks before due date). I have also created a File page on this wiki where you can download any of these items if you happen to misplace the copy sent home. Listed below are the project types and the due dates:
