Today the students received a copy of the book report format. I thought I would put it on my blog so you can refer to it in case you misplace the format sent home.
The students will be required to write four book reports for third grade. The dates listed are when the book reports are due:
First Book Report- Friday, January 29th- Printed on loose leaf paper
Second Book Report- Friday, February 26th- Written in cursive on loose leaf paper
Third Book Report- Friday, March 26th- Written in cursive on loose leaf paper
Fourth Book Report- Friday, April 30th - Typed in computer class (Rough draft needed on April 30th)

Summary:
The summary should be written as if you are retelling the story in words. It should include several details from the story so that anyone reading it should be able to understand it and feel as if they read the story too. After you have written a lengthy summary, include a paragragh as to what you liked best about the story.
The cover should be creative. You can draw and color your cover or find any other ways to decorate it. Please do not scan the cover of the book from your printer.
Parents should not write these book reports but you can help your child with their writing skills and with their creativity. This is a new skill for the children, so they probably will need some assistance. After four book reports, you will be surprised how the students become great little authors.
