Biography Book Report 8th Grade

Biography Book Report 8th Grade

The November book report is actually due December 1. Otherwise it would be due the day after Thanksgiving, which makes turning it in on time a little tricky.

You have several choices for how to present your report. Choose one of the following:

·      Create a power point presentation of the person's life

·      Make a "scrapbook" of important events in the person's life

·      Make a documentary style video about the person

·      Arrange a "classroom visit" by the person. Have your “guest” both tell about their life and share memorabilia (important items) from their past.

·      Make a game based on the person's life

You may also write up a proposal if you have an idea you think is suitable for this report. The proposal must be approved before you begin.

 BE SURE YOUR NAME, THE TITLE OF THE BOOK AND THE AUTHOR’S NAME ARE CLEAR ON WHICHEVER PROJECT YOU CHOOSE. 

 Your information should include in some form:

- people or events that influenced this person's life

- where and when he or she lived and what effect that may have had on the type of person they became

- what makes this person worthy of having a book written about them

Historical Fiction Guidelines

Historical Fiction Guidelines

REQUIRED:

    Write a T.A.M.S. summary describing the novel you read.  This is your first paragraph. See the T.A.M.S handout for details.

·      Describe the historical setting of the novel. Tell how it influences the characters and events in the story. 

·      Choose another period in history that you are familiar with and describe how the story would change if it took place during that time period.

·      Write a concluding paragraph that summarizes what you have just written about.

 YOU MAY CHOOSE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING FOR EXTRA CREDIT:

1. Do additional research about the historical setting of your novel and write a brief report about what you find out. Be sure to cite your sources of information.

2. Using the same main characters, write a story based on the book you read, but with a different historical setting.
