Instead of Students Doing a Traditional Book Report . . . .

• Create a genre bulletin board where students can add a review about their book
• Have students read two books within a genre and do a Venn diagram to compare and contrast the two books? Or read two books by the same author?
• Blog about your book; reflect, ask questions, see if others have read it
• Create a wordle about the word associations you had with the book
• Write a Haiku about the book
• Use glogster to create a collage about the book and references in it
• Read aloud the most interesting part, trying to get others to read it and then explain why you chose that part
