Book Reports: Character in a Can

Our first book report will be a "Character in a Can" and includes a descriptive paragraph about a main character from a book that students read independently. The book can be one they have already logged on their reading book log (the log we keep in our ELA Binder, in class) OR it can be a book the student is currently reading and close to completing. It must be a chapter book or biography.

Today, students recieved their directions, rubric, paper for a rough draft, and paper for final draft. Below are some examples of 3-D characters in a can from last year. These are to give you some examples of a homemade 3-D character in a can.

Helen Keller (Biography)

Jo March from Little Women

Leonardo from Monday with a Mad Genius

Marvin, the Beetle, from Masterpiece

Geronimo Stilton from Geronimo Stilton

Amelia Earhart (biography)

Once you have read the directions and rubric with your child, please feel free to email me at colemana1@duvalschools.org or call me during the week at 260-5860, etx. 2115 if you have questions.

This assignment is DUE on or before Friday, October 18th. Also, this will be graded and is counted as a Unit Test/Project. Unit Tests and Projects account for a large percentage of the overall language arts grade on report cards.

Happy Creating!
