Science Fiction Cube Book Project
Due: Monday, March 9
You must read a Science Fiction book at your reading level. If you are unsure if the book is at your
reading level be sure to check with me right away. As you read, take notes of the important details and
events from the story. Post-its would be great to use as you are reading. You should also keep track of the
setting and main characters in your book.
At the end of the project you will be creating a cube advertising your book. It should entice readers to
want to find out more about your book. Your cube will have six sides to it. Each side will have different
information about your book. See below for details:
1. a “cover” for your book…include the title, author, your name, and an illustration
2. the main characters with a description of who they are and how they fit in the story
3. 10 interesting/challenging vocabulary words listed with their definitions and the page they were
found on
4. Select one of three major events in the story illustrated with a caption (must show complete
understanding of the scene and why it is a major event)
5. Select one of three major events in the story illustrated with a caption (must show complete
understanding of the scene and why it is a major event)
6. Select one of three major events in the story illustrated with a caption (must show complete
understanding of the scene and why it is a major event)
You must keep this paper to be turned in before your presentation or you will lose five percentage
points off your score. You must also have your parent/guardian read and sign this sheet or you will lose
five percentage points off your score. If there is something that you do not understand about this project
talk to me immediately.
