Book Report: Book in a Bag Format
A “Book in a Bag” book report is an oral report supported by items contained in a paper bag (or any kind of
unique bag related to your novel). The outside of your book bag should be decorated so as to grab your
audience’s attention and make them want to read your book. The inside of your bag will include items that
you will use to help explain important parts of your book.
Date Due: February 20, 2017 (each student will present their projects throughout the week.)
Project Details:
Choose a book ~ it can be fiction or non-fiction. Let me know the book you choose before you begin to
read. This is so that we do not have “repeat” presentations. It should not be a book you have read
before but one you have just read or are reading.
Look over the instructions and the list of learning outcomes (on back of sheet.) Make sure that you
include all of the parts of this project before you present it to the class and turn it in! The best way to
get a great mark is to follow instructions!
The FRONT of your bag should contain the following information:
* Title of the book
* Author of the book
* The publisher and copyright of the book
* A colourful picture representing the book
* Your name
The BACK of your bag should include the following (use an index card or a piece of lined paper):
* A paragraph (about 5 sentences) that tells about your favorite part of the book.
* A second paragraph (about 5 sentences) that tells your opinion of your book.
Did you like it? Why or why not? Would you recommend it to others?
On the inside of your bag, you are to include at least 5 items to help tell about your book when you
present it to the class.
* The items do not need to be purchased. They should be items that you can find or make.
These items MUST fit inside the bag or they do not count!
* These items could include things that relate to the characters in your book, the setting,
conflicts, or the plot, etc.
Finally, you will have to present your “Book in a Bag” to the class. During your presentation, you will:
* Tell us the main things – the title, author, and a summary of the book using the items
inside your bag. Why did you choose those items? How are they connected to your book?
* Read the paragraphs from the back of your bag.
* Choose one passage from the book to do a dramatic reading (at least 10 lines.)
