Summer Reading Work

Paper Bag Project

Please read any of the I Survived... series by Lauren Tarshis. You will need a paper bag to complete this project. The size of the bag will depend on the size of the objects you will be placing in the bag. You may use a grocery store bag, a large lunch bag, or even a plain gift bag!

Directions:

1.     Read one of the I Survived books.

2.     Put the title, author, and your name on the front of the bag.

3.     On index cards, write a short summary (no more than 10 sentences) of    the story to tell to the class.

4.     Collect between 3-5 items that represent something from the story. The items should be a symbol of a main character, the setting, problem, or event in the story.

5.     On one or more index cards tell about each object, how it relates to the story, and why you chose it. 

6.     Put the items and index cards in your bag.

7.     Bring to school by Friday, August 29th!
