Our next assignment will be a creative book report. Below are some prompts to get your creative juices flowing. (You don't have to use one of these, but are welcome to.) This book report can be about any book you have read and is approved by your teacher (mom). Really think about how you can write your creative report in such a way that would make others want to read the book too!
I would like everyone to be able to read a quick synopsis of the book prior to reading your report, so that it may be better understood. So please include a short summary at the beginning of your post before your creative assignment. (If the assignment is involved and lengthy, I am not at all opposed to copying the summary of the book from an outside source- I leave this up to your teacher- again, your mom- to decide what you are allowed to do.) Please also be sure to include title and author of the book, of course! DUE APRIL 22nd- but please feel free to post it as soon as you're ready!
Creative Book Report Ideas
•Make a paper doll likeness of one of the characters in the book you read. Design at least threes costumes for this character. Next, write a paragraph commenting on each outfit; tell what the clothing reflects about the character, the historical period and events in the book.
•Choose an interesting character from your book. Consider the character’s personality, likes and dislikes. Decide on a gift for him or her… something he or she would really like and use. Design a greeting card to go along with your gift. In the greeting, explain to your friend from the book why you selected the gift.
•Write the copy for a newspaper front page that is devoted entirely to the book you read. The front page should look as much like a real newspaper page as possible. The articles on the front page should be based on events and characters in the book.
•Pretend that you are one of the characters in the book you read. Write a monologue of that character telling of his or her experiences.
•Make a test for the book you read. Include 10 true-false, 10 multiple choice, and 10 short essay questions. After writing the test, provide the answers for your questions.
•Write a scene that could have happened in the book you read but didn’t. After you have written the scene, explain how it would have changed the outcome of the book.
•Write a diary as the main character would write it to explain the events of the story. Must have at least 5 entries.
•Write a letter to the main character of the book. Write the letter he or she sends back.
•Write the plot of the story as if it were a story on the evening news.
•Rewrite the story for younger children in picture book form.
•Write an obituary for one of the characters. Be sure to include life-time accomplishments.
•Suddenly the book becomes a best seller. Write a letter to a movie producer trying to get that person interested in making your book into a movie. Explain why the story, characters, conflicts, etc., would make a good film. Suggest a filming location and the actors to play the various roles. YOU MAY ONLY USE BOOKS WHICH HAVE NOT ALREADY BEEN MADE INTO MOVIES.
•Write a feature article (with a headline) that tells the story of the book as it might be found on the front page of a newspaper in the town where the story takes place.
•Create a mini-comic book relating a chapter of the book.
