A Bundle of Eleven Book Projects

A Bundle of Eleven Book Projects provides teachers with a year of book reports, projects, and essays that are ready-made with comprehensive lesson plans, standards, objectives, and learning targets, handouts and rubrics, and more.

Your students will become better readers, writers, thinkers, and presenters with this bundle.

Six of the projects are genre studies, featuring mystery, thriller, horror, and suspense; dystopian, science fiction, and fantasy; narrative nonfiction; autobiography/biography, historical fiction; and historical fiction literature circle. The other five projects focus on poetry reading and analysis, comparing and contrasting the book with its movie adaptation and writing a persuasive essay, creating a book jacket, writing mini-reviews, and writing a literary character analysis essay. Your students will write essays and book reviews, make oral presentations, work in groups to make a board game, among many other activities. Most book reports come with at least one rubric and all have a student self-reflection component.

Each project is uniquely suited to meet the needs of a diverse student population, including RSP (Resource Specialist Program), ELL (English Language Learners), GATE (Gifted and Talented Education), and general education students. Its adaptability and comprehensive nature ensure that all students can engage with the material and demonstrate their understanding in a way that aligns with their individual learning styles and abilities.
