I found a website that has over a hundred different ways to describe books or to report on them. Here is the link to that site.

This link has several book report forms that I think would be good for the class. But I beleive that the second form down is the proper one for the class.

When I found this website I thought it would be good for people to write about this book I found.
Here are some ideas that I currently do in 5th grade.
1. Cereal box. They have to cover a cereal box with paper and decorate according to their novel. On the front they have to make up a cereal name that is relevant to their book (ex. for Harry Potter you could have a cereal called Witches Brew). On the back they have to provide a summary of the novel including main characters, plot, setting, and conflict/resolution. On the top, sides, and bottom they have to create little blurbs that tell about the book. Ex. some students put a "nutritional guide" like 10% excitement, 30% suspense. Other kids do a blurb about the author. Some do advertisements. I tell them to use the real cereal box as a guide to help them decide what to put.
This is something that I found on a website about book reports. I thought it looked interesting and wanted to share it with you.
my book report idea is everyone uses a decorated shoe box with five real items and 3 cut out items. You decorate the box in conjunction with the book that you are reading. The 5 real items have to be different and related to the book, not just cupcakes and candy. This idea is called a diorama and here is a website that has a couple of examples.
