Share-A-Book

February 11, 2013

Dear Parents and Students,

                With these final two terms, as part of our At Home Reading grade, we are going to be doing a book report.  We will only be doing one a term, but I would like to make sure that the students put their best efforts into each of the projects.  It’s not going to be a standard report.  Rather, the student should find a creative way to share their book.  We will be sharing them the Week of March 18-22.  I will assign exact days as we get closer, but the students should plan on being prepared for it starting that Monday.  

                I would like the students to get as creative as possible with their projects, but I would like to approve the ideas before they start.  On the back of this sheet is a list of approved ideas.  If the student has an idea that is not on there, just have them talk to me before starting it.

                Below is the rubric for how I will be grading the projects.  If there are any other questions, please, do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks,

Aaron Pratt
