Use this handout to plan your book recommendation. You will create a one-page document (in Comic Life or another similar application or website) using the information from this handout & images you find on the web. Before it is posted in the classroom you will present it to the class & explain why you chose your book.
STEP 1: Answer these questions about your book. ! *NO SPOILERS* (Donʼt give away the ending, please!)
1. What is the bookʼs title and who is the author? ______________________________
6. What is the theme or main idea of the story? (Example: One theme of Hatchet by Gary Paulsen is human versus nature, and our struggle to live harmoniously with nature.)
7. What kind of person might enjoy reading this book? (Example: If you love stories about dystopian future societies, you wonʼt want to miss The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.)
10. Find at least four images relating to your book. One should be the cover of the book. The other three (or more) can be symbols, scenes, or anything that reminds you of the novel. You should not just have multiple pictures of different covers. (Example: A book about a football player could have a picture of a football game; a book about teens in high school could show scenes from a hallway or classroom.)
STEP 2: Putting your words/information into a Comic Life document (or use a ! site like Glogster.com or ToonDoo.com if you do not have Comic Life).
1. Open up a new file in Comic Life.
2. Place title of book & authorʼs name on page using the “lettering” button.
3. Place your name (such as “recommended by…”) somewhere on the page.
4. You may use a template or create your own page.
5. You should have ALL of the information from your handout somewhere on the page.
6. Use the bubbles for dialogue or thoughts (you can quote characters from the book) to enhance your review.
7. When finished, export as a PDF document & print. Ask permission before printing on a color printer.
8. Turn in your saved file via: ______________________________________________
9. DUE DATE: __________________________________________________________
Student SamplesI have a portion of my white board designated for “Good Reads”. A few years ago, I used to have students just write their recommendations there. But other students would ask, “Whatʼs that book about?” and “Why did so-and-so like that book?” So I decided to have them expand with the Comic Life project. Each month a new group puts up their recommendations. (You can have them sign-up, or just assign who goes each month.)
