Each student has been asked to read a book in the genre of information. Upon completion of the book, the student will make a board game depicting the important facts of the book. Requirements of the game are:
- Must be on poster board of at least 12 x 18 inches
- Must have the book title and author on the game board
- Must have the creator’s name on game board
- Must include spaces for at least 15 facts
- May contain chance cards
- Must use a die to move markers (Die and markers are provided.)
- Must contain at least 20 spaces
- May contain empty spaces
The students have been shown examples in class. They must have their books approved by me. All books must be chosen by Friday, October 21, 2011. Game board book reports are due on Wednesday, November 9, 2011. This is a major grade for reading and language arts. For each day that it is late, five points will be deducted from the final grade and recess will be missed. Time will be given in class to work on the game, however it will need to be completed at home. I will answer any questions that may come up between now and the due date. Students will be given free reading opportunities the first week of November. They may choose to read their informational book at this time. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
