BOOK IN A BAG BOOK REPORT

A “Book in a Bag” is a book report contained in a brown paper bag. The purpose of the outside of the bag is to interest a classmate to want to read your book. The inside of your bag should include items that you will be able to use to explain important parts of your book.

 Pick any book that is a comfortable reading level for you. Due Date: 10/30/26

MATERIAL SUGGESTIONS: You will need a clean brown paper bag (I can provide you with one, just ask). You will also need colored pencils or markers, crayons, scotch tape or glue stick, paper.

PROJECT REQUIREMENTS

1. Have Mr. Fanchar approve your book. (Books chosen (09/30/26)

2. Read your book.  Have it read  by 10/18/26.

3. On the front of the bag neatly write: a) Title of the Book b) Author of the Book c) Draw a picture of the main character/s

 4. On the back of the bag neatly write a paragraph about your favorite part of the story. The paragraph can be written on lined paper, cut out and glued or scotch-taped to the bag. (A paragraph should be at least 5 sentences long.) Also, write your opinion about the book. Did you like it? If you did like it, tell why. If you did not like it, tell why you didn’t.

5. On one side of the bag explain the Plot of the story (a short summary of the book).

6. On the opposite side of the bag list the main characters and a brief description of their role in the story. Also on the same side include the Setting (describe where the story takes place).

7. Collect at least 3 things (that will fit into your bag) to help you tell the class about your book when you present your report in class.

During the oral presentation you will:

· Give a short summary of the story

· Explain why you selected the objects in the bag and how they connect to the book.
