October Book Project

It's a Pumpkin! It's a Book Project!

It's time to start planning your Pumpkin Book Project.

 Here is how it works

I will send a packet home soon! The materials will also be available to download on Edmodo.

1. Select a book that is at or slightly above your reading level.
2. Make sure that this book contains well rounded characters.
3. Read the book.
4. As you read, complete the Characters and Inferences sheet.  Mrs. Ginn will be checking this each week to make sure that you are keeping up. Stay tuned for due dates.
5. Complete the "Story Map" graphic organizer.
6. Complete the Pumpkin Book Report.  This report should focus on character traits. It is not a summary.  In the report, you will discuss your character's traits and you will use evidence from the text to support your ideas and opinions.  You will use the Characters and Inferences sheet to help you.
7. Decorate a pumpkin. You may use a foam pumpkin or a real pumpkin.  You may not bring a carved pumpkin to class.  It will rot quickly.

  The due date for the entire project is October 30th, so begin planning now.  I must approve all books, so please bring in your reading selection soon.
I can't wait to see the pumpkin invasion!
