Fairy Tale Book Report                      Due:   Thursday, October 6th

Collage and Poem

 Instruction will be provided at school about fairy tales.  Detailed directions for book reports will be given and samples will be shown prior to September 14th.

1. Choose a fairy tale or fractured fairy tale at your lexile level and read it.  We will have an opportunity to select fairy tales in the Learning Center on Wednesday, September 14th.  You may also choose a fairy tale from home or the public library.  All fairy tales must be approved by Mrs. Davis.

2.  Create a collage of pictures, words, and objects about your story.  Tell about the characters, settings, and important events using clippings from magazines or newspapers and other items you can find around your house.  Your collage must also include your book title, the author, and the illustrator.  Neatness in cutting, gluing, and printing will be considered.

3.  Write an acrostic poem about your fairy tale.  Your main word should go down the left side of the paper and include six or more letters.  For each letter, write a phrase (not just one word).  These phrases should explain the characters, settings, problem, and solution.  Include some color with your poem.  Consider a decorative border or illustration.
