NEWBERY HONOR AWARD
Due April 1, 2014
This months genre is Newbery Honor. Students need to choose a book that has won a Newbery award and they will make a Newbery Book Report on it. Here is a link to a list of all the Newbery Medal and Honor books from 1922-present.
I have provided a packet with everything they will need to make their books as well as detailed instructions and a rubric so they will know exactly what they will be graded on. Here is what I am expecting:
Cover- Use template 1 in the packet. In the center of the medal, write the name of the book and its author. At the bottom write YOUR NAME. Make it creative and colorful.
Page 1- Use template 2 in the packet. Label it SUMMARY at the top. Write a 3-4 paragraph summary of the book (fill the page). This summary should include a brief description of the following: main characters, setting, major events, the problem in the story, the solution of how the problem gets solved and the ending of the story.
Page 2- Use template 2 in the packet. Label it WHY THIS BOOK IS A WINNER. There must have been a good reason your book was a Newbery Medal Winner. What was it about your book that made it so outstanding? Write a complete and thoughtful paragraph. Cite specific examples from the book to support your feelings and include the page number.
Page 3 - Use template 3 in the packet and label it FAVORITE SCENE. Draw a picture of your favorite scene from the book. Write a sentence describing the scene below it. Fill up all the white space with a colorful, detailed picture.
If you have any questions please let me know. This isn't hard, but it does take some time. So I advised students not to save it 'til the night before.
They also got new reading logs today that need to be SIGNED and returned APRIL 1st.
Thanks for all you do!
Mrs. Willard
