"Book in a . . ." Container Book Report


Great example from Chrys
Many of you have been looking at the book report assignment that the children will be turning in on Thursday, September 29th.  A fantasy is a fictional story where there is a struggle between good and evil that often involves magic or creatures that don't exist in real life.  The characters or objects do things that couldn't happen in real life. Adventure stories have a character who lives by his wits and skills and is constantly placed in dangerous situations.  An adventure story may or may not be a fantasy story, since there are nonfiction adventures, as well.

The students may use books at Altara's library or any other location.  They should choose books they haven't read before that are appropriate for their reading levels (not too hard or too easy).  Here are a few websites children can use to find various genres of books at or near their reading levels:

Lexile.com
Book Adventure
Scholastic Book Wizard

Remember to check the rubric in your homework folder for instructions.  If you have any questions or concerns about the book report requirements, feel free to contact me.  Happy Reading!
