Book Project: Bookmark Book Reports
You will create a bookmark (be as creative as you want to be!) that contains a summary, a
review, character descriptions, and pictures that relate to your story. You will need to
complete the planning sheet and then put your final product in bookmark format (3x9in. –
front and back). The front will be the title of the book, author, summary, and one picture. The
back will be character descriptions, a review, and one picture. You should be creative, neat and
complete in your work. As with all writing in this class you should proofread your work. Neatness
does count, so make it an example of your best work.
Planning Sheet
Summary – What are the important events that occur in the book? Remember not to reveal the
conclusion!
Review – What makes this a great book? How do creativity, plot, characterization, setting,
figurative language, or other features make this one you’d recommend (or one that you wouldn’t
recommend)?
Characters – Who are the main characters in the book? What details and specific facts would tell
someone reading your bookmark the most about the character?
Relates Graphics to the Book – What pictures or images can you look for that will relate to the
theme/purpose of the book? What graphics will help someone reading your bookmark be more
interested in the book?
