Every month I require my students to read a free
choice book in addition to our normal course book. Thankfully, my kids all
enjoy reading for fun so it’s not the fight that it was last year. Anyway,
every month I have them do some sort of book project to present to the class
about what they read. Since standard book reports are so boring, I usually like
to try something more fun. I’ve tried everything from making an animated video
to story sandwiches to movie posters. I just love how creative my students are
when I give them a project like this. So, in true Ms. Reyna fashion, I was
perusing Pinterest in search of a new book report idea and found this little
number on creating a timeline of the major events in the story. The idea was so
simple, but I hadn’t ever thought of it. It’s so nice to still be learning new
things every day!
I adapted the idea so that it worked better for
my students, but that was easy. Then I created the guidelines and rubric for my
students to access on edmodo. Finally, I made an example of what I was looking
for so that they had a better idea of where to start. Here are a few pictures
of their work and the guidelines and rubric if you want to try it. Have a great
day!
