Fiction & Nonfiction Book Report / Craftivity Project BUNDLE

7 Fiction & 2 Nonfiction Book Report + Interactive Notebook Craftivity Project Bundle

This is a series of book reports for fiction and nonfiction that can be used with any book.

The book reports can be used as an individual book report or as a literacy center activity. The interactive notebook pieces follow along with the projects.

In addition, students write a book review, discussing what they liked and didn't like. Having students write about what they have read helps increase reading comprehension. Writing for an authentic audience increases student engagement in writing - students enjoy reading what their friends write when checking out books.

Craftivity book reports help engage students in reading and provide fine motor practice. When finished, students can present their books to the class and hang them for others to read.

Creating the Project

The project pieces are print and cut. Students color their pieces, then cut and glue them on a piece of construction paper. Students write the information on the inside of each piece. Students will need a copy of the pieces, scissors, glue, and a piece of construction paper.

The pieces are provided in both color and black and white, so teachers could choose which version to print.

Inside this Resource

This resource includes all student pages for the project, including an explanation of the project:

This activity is ready to print and copy. Included is:

• Book Report Directions, including a review of the key concept
• Assembly Directions
• Project Templates in color and black & white
• Student Checklist
• Rubric

Class time will vary depending upon how much time the teacher gives students in class to read and work on their case.

For my students, we spend part of a class period in the library looking for books. Students select a book, and I keep a record of the books selected.

Once everyone has a book selected, I give students 2 1/2 - 3 weeks to read and complete the project.

In addition, I take three - five days and have students present their books and projects. (I use this as an oral presentation grade.) I find it is better to do a few presentations each day instead of doing them all in one period.

Do you need Digital Book Reports?

This resource includes the same activities as my Fiction & Nonfiction Digital Craftivity Book Reports BUNDLE, but these graphic organizers are made for printing, cutting, and gluing.
