BOOK REPORT: FICTION

Use this flipbook organiser to scaffold the structure of a fiction Book Report. The prompts for each of the key elements of the Report will help students write effectively and keep on track.

WHAT’S INCLUDED:
→ Six posters/anchor charts on a fiction book report and its key elements. Print, laminate and display in class and/or view as PDF slideshow.

→ Cover (editable) templates x 8 (students details and quote editable)

→ Editable templates x 5: The Setting, Main Characters, The Summary (x2), What I Thought (prompts editable)

→ Lined sheets for publishing x 4
→ Teacher Marking Rubric x 3
→ Self-editing and Peer editing Checklists
→ Banners (plain and decorated)

*************************************************************************
SUGGESTED USE:
♦ Project the PDF file on the interactive notebook to introduce the parts of a fiction book report via the posters/anchor charts. Also show students the flipbook templates and completed sample. Discuss the requirements for each template of the book report.

♦ Have students collect information in their flipbook on the specific book under study. This could also serve as their draft where they could use the self-editing and peer-editing checklists to edit. Finally have students publish on given writing sheets or type out content from draft observing corrections.

*************************************************************************
HOW TO ASSEMBLE FLIPBOOK:
You can choose either of the two options.
⇒ Print out the templates in blackline. Cut around each template and assemble from smallest template to largest template. Have students colour in pages. Staple at top tab for flipbook or glue descending order in notebook.

⇒ Print out the templates on cardstock (different colours). Cut around each template and assemble. Attach at top.

*************************************************************************
PREPARATION
→ For grades 2-3, bundle up to 6 sheets together after sorting, align them perfectly and cut.

→ For grades 4-6, students are old enough to cut and compile flipbooks on their own. I have my students compile all sections of the flipbook prior to research and writing.

DISPLAY
After completion, display students’ flipbooks under the Banner.

These flipbooks are sure to make an interesting bulletin board display.
