25 Book Club Assessment Project Choices


Please choose one project choice for each book that you read for the 25 Book Club. You must do each every project on this list at least once. We suggest you dont repeat until you have finished the list.
1. FACTS & FIBS: You must write down 10 actual facts that occur or that are true about your book and 5 things that are definitely false or not true about it. CHARACTER MAP: You must outline a persons body, head, or two hand prints. Inside one of those choices, you must write down words, actions, ideas, sentences, or other items that you would use to describe this person. It can also be done by outlining an object and by describing an event instead of a personality. BOOK RENAMING: You must rename your book with an original name, create a colorful drawing that illustrates your book, and give a 2-3 sentence reason for your new title. All three should be on the same side of the sheet of paper. SUMMARY BOXES: Use four boxes to summarize your book. The boxes are PEOPLE, PLACE/SETTING, PROBLEMS, and SOLUTIONS. You should have 2-3 facts for each box with details from the novel. PROBABLE PASSAGES: This organizer divides the information from a problem in the book into four columns or boxes. They are SETTING, CHARACTERS, PROBLEMS, and SOLUTIONS. You need to describe where it takes place, who is involved, what problems occur, and how they are solved. TIMELINE: Use ten boxes that retell the major events of the book in proper chronological order. You can connect the boxes with lines or arrows so I know what order they go in from beginning to end. STORY JOURNAL: You are to write as if you are a character in the book. Write a journal entry about a problem or situation that is occurring in the book. Make sure you are as specific as possible. Your journal should be at least 10-12 sentences in length and must accurately retell the events relating to your character. COMIC STRIP: Create a five box comic strip that retells the major events of the story. Each box must have a drawing and 3-4 phrases of conversation or a statement that tells what is happening at that time in the comic.
