Want to try a new way to do a book report? Try the Book Report Cube.
First, find a great book that has fun characters and keeps your turning those pages. Then gather supplies and start creating.
Supplies you will need:
- Shoe box
- Construction or scrapbook paper
- Scissors
- Glue
- Markers or crayons
After you read your book, you are ready to begin:
- Cut off the top of the shoe box (you will make one in step 3)
- Cover all 4 sides with construction paper, glue the paper on all side except the bottom
- Make a cover with construction paper. Don’t attach it yet.
- On the cover, neatly write the book Title and Author. Feel free to add some stickers, drawings, or doodles to liven it up
- On one side, write five new words that you learned in the book. Make sure you understand what they mean.
- On another side, write a few sentences about your favorite part of the book
- On the third side, draw your favorite character. What did you like about them? Make sure you can see that in your drawing.
- On the last side, draw your favorite scene from the book. Be sure to add emotions and actions with speech bubbles and more.
- Now it’s time to attach your cover to the box. Use tape and glue to make sure it stays.
- Have fun showing your class your book cube! Be ready to talk about what you did!
