Book Report Ideas
By Judy

Clip to ScrapBook   
To start, have your class read biographies this month. Then, instruct them to transform their pumpkin into the person they learned about...now you have "pumpkin-ogrophies". I did this last year, and the response from parents
and teachers was overwhelming.

You can have your students write a report as well including why this person was famous; what things happened in this person's childhood that helped them become a famous person; list four important dates in this person's life and write why each was important; explain how their famous person was affected by others in their lives; what questions would

you like to ask...etc.

It's a fun-start...There are many other ideas that can correlate wtih the traditional book report in order to know the student did indeed read the book
