Book Ball Book Report

 

Directions:

You will need twelve (12) sheets of paper. Each piece of paper needs to have a perfect pentagon inside a perfect circle. The circle should touch all five points of the pentagon. Trace the original carefully!

Next, cut out all of the circles. Each circle will be used in the book ball. Writing ONLY IN THE PENTAGON, complete the following assignments. Remember to write in complete sentences, and to decorate your book ball with color so that it looks as nice as possible. When you are done, glue it all together!

 

ASSIGNMENTS

 

0) Draw a border around every pentagon, and number each one at the top.

1) Write the title and author of your book in one pentagons. Plan the lettering so that the entire space is used, and looks attractive. Use color, and remember to write only in the pentagon.

2) In one pentagon, list the main characters in your book. Describe each with at least five adjectives. Do this for a minimum of three characters. Use color.

3) Describe the setting (time and place) of your book. If you choose, you can draw a picture instead of writing a paragraph. In either case, your work should give the reader of clear idea of where your book takes place. Color!

4) Construct the story (plot) line. Be sure to show the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. Label at least three events for each.

5) Identify the protagonist and antagonist. Write one paragraph to describe each. This should be done in one pentagon only. Draw a small color picture.

6) Write a paragraph that describes the funniest, saddest, or most exciting part of the story. Underneath your paragraph, draw a picture of that part. Use color, and plan so that the paragraph takes up most of the pentagon.

7) In one pentagon, write another ending for the story.

8) Tell why you would, or would not, recommend this book to someone else. Be sure to give specific reasons for your choice.

9) Draw a picture of the character that you found most interesting. Write the character's name on his/her shirt, then write three to five sentences describing this character and why you chose him/her.

10/11/12) Write a three-pentagon summary of this book. Include key ideas and important events. Spell each word correctly, and use new vocabulary.
