A Book Report Project Your Students Will Love!
I have an affinity for books. I’ve been reading more books a week than the average person for many years now. It’s what I do with most of my spare time. Everyone seems to know
Even though I'm an e-reader, I love the feel of physical books and having them around my house. My dollhouse is no exception, and I...
Suzanne Collins biography, graphic novel style! Students should enjoy reading, right!? And there's a reason why young children love picture books: images are appealing. Do I prefer reading a graphic novel version of my favorite books? Not really. But, that doesn't mean none of my students do. In fact, I would say quite a few of them would prefer it. If I want my students to enjoy reading, I need to offer plenty of choices. The same with writing. Some kids are happy to write a classic book report. But some aren't. So why not give them choices? With the recent announcement on the Hunger Games Fireside Chat of Sara Gundell's comic-style biography of Suzanne Collins (author of The Hunger Games), (see picture) this reminds me that there are so many appealing ways to entice students to read rather than the traditionally printed book. I offer loads of choices in my high school classroom because we all have different tastes. I do love reading comics and have Calvin and Hobbes, The Far Side, Close to Home, and Frazz books for students to read. Of course I offer the classics along side them, but I would much rather have a student read something over nothing. We need to admit that it is OK to allow these choices in our classroom. Students DO learn from reading non-academia texts! Reading the Guiness Book of World Records is still helping my students' reading skills. How? Because they are reading! It doesn't matter what they are reading. The act alone and repetition of it makes them better readers. It is the same with writing. The more they write, the better writer they become. So why do we assign the boring 5-paragraph essay over and over again so they learn to hate writing? I don't know (well I do...because we are forced to). It's crazy. I would rather assign them more relevant and personally-connected pieces because 1. they will enjoy it, and 2. the chances of them copying & pasting text from the internet is less likely.

Tired of assigning stale study-guide questions? Mix it up with NOVEL NOTES, engaging and visually appealing student-directed graphic organizers that work for any fiction text. A paperless download is also included! When I’m reading a novel with my classes, I usually make a packet of all the notes (printed back-to-back) for each student. I generally require students to complete all six of the handouts, in any order. Sometimes I’ll tell them the chapters to focus on, and other times, I let them choose. The questions are open-ended and thought-provoking, allowing students to do their best work, regardless of what chapter they are reading. Additionally, these Novel Notes are perfect for independent reading. The questions work for any chapter of any text, and even if students are reading different books, they can still complete the same notes page and have unique responses. I love the way these novel notes are differentiated for students of varying abilities. ** ALSO--These are now updated with a DIGITAL DOWNLOAD to use online with your Distance Learning or Paperless classroom!** Other ways you could use these: **Use during Literature Circles instead of traditional role sheets **Group students and have each student complete a different page for the chapter required, allowing for plenty of unique discussions **Leave this novel notes for a sub-plan, so that your novel study doesn’t get sidetracked ***************************************************************************************************************************** You might also be interested in the following resources from my store: Argument Essay Unit Response to Literature Essay Unit Parenthetical Citation and Quote Integration ***************************************************************************** Let's Connect!
