Creative Book Report- Written Template

Please find below the template for the written portion of the book report.  (The kids also have a hard copy of this with the fancy font, etc. in their binders.)

I will be teaching the unfamiliar terms (i.e. "protagonist," "antagonist,the different kinds of conflicts, etc.), so the kids don't have to get started on it yet unless they have a burning desire to grapple with the concepts on their own first.

Rough Draft Due: Thursday, Nov. 14
Final Draft Due: Thursday, Nov. 21
