Quarter 3 Personal Reading Project – 7

Grade (Tab #4)

Assignment Overview

• Your main homework assignment for this class is to read 3-4 nights per week and record your pages on

a reading log. These reading logs are due at the end of each month.

• This quarter, you will complete a project on one of the books you have read this year.

Project Options

Option 1: Book Talk

• Description: After you finish your book, give a 3-5 minute speech to the class about your book.

• Grading requirements:

You must have the book in your possession.

• Your book talk must be at least 3 minutes, with a maximum of 10 minutes. The speech should do all of

the following:

Discuss why you selected the book.

Give a basic summary that covers what the book is about. Include specifics to prove you read the

book.

Explain who you would recommend the book to.

Read a quote or short passage from the book.

Do not spoil the book in a book talk; the idea is to get the reader interested in the book.

Option 2: One-Pager

• Description: After you finish your book, complete a One-Pager during Freeread/Freewrite Friday or

before/after school. (One-Pagers follow the same format as first semester.)

One-Pagers have several questions about your book that anyone who has read the book should be

able to complete.

There are many versions of One-Pagers, with different questions on different versions. You will

not know your questions ahead of time.

You can use the book during the One-Pager, but you must complete the One-Pager in room 106

with Miss Mathers.

Option 3: Book Poster

• Description: After you finish your book, create a Book Poster that can be hung up in the room to get

people interested in the book.

Your poster must have all of the following:

o Title

o Author

o Genre (fantasy, memoir, romance, etc.)

o One interesting quote from the book

o An original, visual component (it must be something you draw or create…not something

printed straight off a digital source). Examples: drawings, collages, other.

o A comment/recommendation about who would like the book.

Your poster must be on a full-sized poster board. Neatness counts!

Due Date:

• One-Pagers due by 4:00pm: Monday, March 17

• Last day for book talks (during class): Wednesday, March 19
