book report in a can
By Vivian

My daughter who is in second grade did a book report project using a coffee can. Maybe you have heard of it before. It is a fun project for the family to get involved too. Here it is: Using a large coffee can, you cover the
outside with construction paper fit to the can. Then on the same paper write title, students name and draw a picture of what the book was about.Second , the student makes his/her own pocket stle glossary book choosing 10 words. You need to include: pronounciation of word, meaning and a sentence showing how you would use the word. Third, make another pocket size booklet with a summary

of the book. Third, on the plastic lid, cut two vertical slits about 3 inches apart. Take a lons strip of paper and divide it into individual boxes useing a magic marker. you are on the way to making your own film of your book. All you need to do is fit the long strip of paperwithin the slit of the lid and youcan "roll your report." It sounds difficult but its easier than read. Enjoy!
