Book Projects

Students will complete a book project each quarter.  The directions for each project, as well as the book, will be supplied by your teacher.   

All projects will be completed at home.    Please contact me if you have any questions.  

Our first project is called the "2-Liter Bottle Book Project."   You will select a book from our classroom and read this book at home.  As you read, closely observe the main character in your book.  The project directions and a rubric will be sent home by September 2nd, and all aspects of this project will be completed at home.  

Part 1:  Decorate an empty (clean) 2-liter bottle to look like the main character in your book (see sample ideas in picture below).  It will help if you put sand or rocks in the bottom of the 2-liter bottle for stability.

Part 2:  After decorating the bottle, write the following on an index card:

• Title of the book

• Author of the book

• Character’s name and your name

Part 3:  On a piece of lined notebook paper, write a short paragraph (at least 5 sentences) describing the main character in your book.  Be sure to include:

• What actions the character takes

• How the character feels

• A favorite quote from your character

Please have your child grade himself/herself using the rubric provided.  This project will be due Monday, October 6th.
