Recipe for a book report!


Thanks to The Homeschool Classroom for cooking this one up! This was originally in a Scholastic magazine. The Homeschool Classroom found it at The Teacher's Desk. The recipe is as follows:

1 cup of plot - Tell briefly what the story is about, but don't give away the ending.

2 teaspoons of character - Who are the main characters? Describe them briefly.

2 tablespoons of excitement - Select a short passage from the book that describes something exciting that happened. Try to find a passage with the main character in it.

Mix thoroughly and bake.

When cool, frost with this special icing:
1/2 cup of opinion - What did you like about the book? What didn't you like?

1 teaspoon of recommendation - Whom do you think would enjoy this book? Why?

Finally sprinkle on the following information:
Title of the book
Name of the author
Name of publisher
Number of pages
Literary genre


Looks good enough to eat to me!
