6th Grade Final Library Project(Spring 2014)

Genre’ Fantasy

 

“Fantasies are stories that involve beings and events that do not exist in real life.  These works may start on a realistic bent but they soon evolve into tales that could never really happen.”

 

Read 1 fantasy book of at least 100 pages-does not need to be an AR book; but it can be if you choose. See me if we need to adjust the book length. Create a bloom ball about your book to share in front of the class. 

Required Sides:

-Design a cover with title, author & and illustration on it,

-Characters,

-brief summary of the basic plot of the story,

-what makes this a fantasy& type of fantasy,

-how you liked the book

Optional-choose7

          -Write a poem about the book

          -List 4 facts about the author

          -List 4 new words you learned and their definitions

          -List other books by the same author

          -Draw a picture of 1 of the saddest, funniest, most exciting or your favorite part of the story.  Include a caption explaining your picture.

          -Tell why you would or wouldn’t recommend this book to a friend.

 

On a separate paper, evaluate how your project turned out, what you learned, and your sources in a proper bibliographic format.
