HW for Friday, 4/6

Due Monday: the Book Report Helper (for your IRP book) and the summary (see below) . . .

Summary:

Using the Book  Report Helper (click here if you need a copy of it) we completed in class, as well as your knowledge of HOW A PLOT DEVELOPS to write a 4‐5 paragraph summary of your book. Type and double‐space. Edit for grammar and spelling and follow the formatting guidelines (see the link in the upper right hand corner of this page for a reminder). Make sure you cover the following (a strongly suggested paragraph structure is in parentheses) . . . .

• Who the author is? (paragraph 1)

• What kind of book is it? (Fiction? Non‐fiction? Mystery? Drama? Biography?) (paragraph 1)
• Write about the exposition! Setting, characters, and situation (paragraph 2)

• What happens in your book? Give a fairly detailed description of the inciting incident (what are the external and internal conflicts?).  (paragraph 3)

• Tell about the rising action (including the climax) and falling action. (paragraph 4)

• What are your thoughts about the book? (paragraph 5)

HW for Wednesday, 4/4

IRP 6

Type, label and date your response to the following question:

What is your (detailed) plan for your independent reading project? How is it interactive? (200+ words).  See the details below if you need help figuring out what to do.

Creative Project:

Come up with some way to visually present your book. This will not be presented orally. You will post this in the classroom gallery‐style. Your creative project should include a gallery card –with one typed paragraph that briefly summarizes your book and a second paragraph that gives your project a creative title and explains your projects’ significance to the book. Your gallery card should also include any necessary instructions for the viewer on how to interact with your work.

Some ideas . . .

• a diorama of a particular scene

• if there’s a movie version of your book, choose a short scene to que up; you should also print the exerpt from the book and your gallery card should explain how the two scenes (movie and book) are similar and/or different

• create a website about your book that students can go through on their own

• a power point presentation that students can go through on their own

• a board game that two students could play on their own—directions should be simple and printed out

• if food is important in your book, cook something that’s mentioned and bring that in for everyone to try—make sure it is clear why this is relevant to the content of your book

• draw portraits of the main characters or draw important scenes from the book

These projects should be neat and well‐put together, not something you work on the night before it’s due!
