Final Home Project Refresher

Each student will present a favorite book they have read. If they are not yet reading fluently, they may choose a book someone has read to them.  They will need to tell about the main characters, a brief summary of the book, and share why they liked it.  They will need a visual aid to accompany their report. Visual aids can be in the form of a newspaper article, diorama, kite book report, board game with questions, etc. There are endless possibilities beyond a tri-fold! If possible, I would like each student to bring the book as well. Home projects will be due May 7th, 2018.
