7th Grade Book Report Assignment

The due dates for quarter two book reports are:

·         #1: Friday, November 16

·         #2: Friday, November 30

·         #3: Thursday, December 20

·         #4: Monday, January 14

Your book reports will consist of TWO paragraphs. You will choose TWO of the types of connections we have been working on in class (text-to-text, text-to-self, or text-to-world) and you will discuss connections you made with your book report book. In paragraph one, you should write about one of the connections, and in paragraph two, you should write about the other connection. You should come up with at least three examples for each connection. IF you cannot come with three examples, you can combine the last two connection types in your second paragraph.

For example:

Paragraph One = Three examples of Text-to-Self connections

Paragraph Two = Three examples of Text-to-Text connections

OR

Paragraph One = Three examples of Text-to-World connections

Paragraph Two = One example of Text-to-Self, and two examples of Text-to-Text
