6th Grade Independent Reading Portfolio
Dear 6th graders,
For your end of the year reading project, you need to assemble a “reading portfolio” with the following items inside:
1) Your RNB2) Your Booklist and mini reviews (this packet)3) 10 Book reports (see below)
You will need to choose 10 books out of the 40 just-right books you have read this year for your book reports. Your book reports can be in any of the following formats. You need to have at least 3 different formats for your 10 book reports. Have fun!
25 Book Report Alternatives (from Scholastic.com: “Classroom Activities: 25 Book Report Alternatives”)
1. Write a letter to the main character and the character’s reply.
2. Write a different ending for the book.
3. Pretend you are a talk show host and interview the main character.
4. Create a travel brochure for the setting of the story and scrapbook pages about key characters.
5. Create a book jacket, including illustration, synopsis, author bio, and favorable reviews.
6. Summarize the book into a comic or story aimed for younger students or your classmates.
7. Write a news article about an important event from the book.
8. Would you make the same decisions if you were the main character in the book? Write a reflection or essay.
9. Dramatize a scene from the story with your classmates or using puppets. Make a video out of it. You are free to use Ms. Tu’s Flip Camera.
