A total of 12 book reports are due in my class each year. I know this may seem like a lot, but it gets the kids reading and used to presenting- a skill that will be needed as they go into high school. Each quarter, a written, presentation and conference report will be due. Half of the grade is based on the student's completion of reading the book and the rest is on the content provided in the report. For written reports, I do require a rough draft along with the final draft. This doesn't mean that everything needs to be typed, but does mean that a process was taken in writing the report. The presentation report is given to the entire class while the conference is held with me. Taking AR quizzes after finishing reading is strongly encouraged! Below are the due dates for your planning.
