Second Quarter Book Report

Non-fiction Book Report                       Due:  December 16th

Game

1.  Choose a non-fiction book at your lexile level and read it.  Examples include animals, space, disasters, careers, states, countries, and cultures.  Please do not choose to read a book about a famous person for this report.  You will do a biography book report later this year.  All books must be approved by Mrs. Davis

 2.  Design a game that teaches others about the things you learned while reading your book.  Think of board games or card games you like to play like Memory, Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders, Sorry, and Go Fish.  You can use one of these examples as a starting point for the concept behind your book report game.  Neatness in handwriting, coloring, and construction will be considered.  Be sure to include these things: 

     ·        Title of book, author, and illustrator/photographer somewhere on the game

·        Game name

·        Game pieces

·        Game rules

 3.  At school, you will explain your game to the class.  Your classmates may ask you questions about your book or game, so be prepared.  Take some time to practice your presentation at home with your family as the audience.
