April Reading Project (1st and 2nd Hr)

Book in a Box

Due April 30th 

This month our genre is Adventure.  The reading project is book in a box.  

The Project:

Decorate a box to represent your book and fill it with objects that represent different parts of your book. 

The Details:

You can use a shoebox, oatmeal canister, coffee can or other similarly sized container for this project 

Decorate your box to go with the book.  You can draw pictures yourself or use pictures from a magazine or the internet.  Be sure to include the title and author of your book on the box as well as your name. 

Find at least 8 different objects.  You can use pictures if the object you want to use is too big to fit in the box. 

For each object, make a note card that includes the name of the object at the top and a few sentences (3-5) about how the object is important to the book. 

Tips for Success

As you read your book, keep a list of ideas for objects that you might want to use for this project. 

If you use pictures, glue them onto cardboard backings, 

Try to find at least one object for each chapter of your book.  This makes it so you are sure to have plenty of objects to choose from when you're finished reading. 

Please let me know if there are any questions regarding the assignment. 

Remember the reading log and project are DUE APRIL 30th and the reading log needs to be signed!

Thanks,
