Paper
Bag Book Review
This is an open ended reading
task that allows students to demonstrate their level of comprehension in a safe
and non-threatening environment.
It is a structured task that
requires explicit modelling of activities and expectations, which will be done
in class. The students must pick their favourite book to do the report on.
This task covers many aspects
of the English Learning Area. Students will be assessed on their presentation
to the class as well as the content they have provided.
What do Paper Bag Book
Reviews consist of?
·
Students must select and read
a book
·
Design a book cover on the
front of a paper bag (different to the original one). The cover must include a
title, picture and the author.
·
Students then complete the
book review sheet based on the book they have selected.
·
Select 3 items to represent
the significant factors of the story (One to represent a character, one to
represent the setting and one to represent the problem.)
·
Write an explanation of why
they included each item.
·
Present their book review and
items to the class.
·
Listen to peers present their
Paper Bag Book Review and complete peer evaluations
·
Complete a self-evaluation
·
Review a teacher evaluation
Students will be provided
with everything they need to complete the task. Paper Bag Book Reviews were
originally designed for reluctant readers to encourage them to read.
Please be aware although
students will be completing part of this project at home it is a demonstration
of what they can do. We ask that you encourage your child to do the best they
can do but allow them to do the tasks alone.
Presentations of the Paper
Bag Book Reviews will commence Tuesday of Week 7 the 2nd
of June.
ALL BOOK REVIEWS ARE TO BE
COMPLETED AND SUBMITTED TO THE TEACHER BY WEEK 6 FRIDAY 29th OF MAY.
Tasks that will be required
to be completed at home will be written in each student’s diary/with a note.
Thanks,
Miss B J
