Third Quarter Book Reports

Turn in a rough draft and label it as such at the top of your report. Please incorporate necessary changes for your final copy. Final copies may be typed or written in cursive in pen or pencil. Please include each rough draft(s) with your final copy. (Final copy goes on top) Be sure to check your final copy for the above requirements as well as spelling, grammar, punctuation, neatness, etc.

Don't forget that you need to take (2) reading quizzes (a combination of Reading Counts in the classroom or Bookadventure.com at home) from two of the four books you will read this quarter. You may take additional quizzes.

• “Interview” a character from your book. Come up with at least ten questions that will give the character the opportunity to discuss his/her thoughts and feelings about his/her role in the story. (Do not choose questions that can only be answered with a 'yes' or 'no'.) This should be about a page or more in length.
  
• Make at least four drawings (each 8 ½ X 11) of some of the important scenes in the book and include a caption of each one to describe the drawing. No tracing or computer generated drawings are allowed. Be neat, take your time, and fill the page. No postage stamp-sized drawings!
  
• Write a different ending for your story, even if you liked the book's ending. Explain what you changed and why. This should be about a page or more in length.
  
• Compare and contrast this book to either Sign of the Beaver or In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson. It would be a good idea to use a Venn diagram or other note taking strategy to organize your thoughts for a rough draft. Compare and contrast characters, setting, plot, conflicts, etc. This should be about a page or more in length.
