Project Description: The idea of the project is to connect students/classes from various countries around the world to work together in reading books at grade level and writing summary book reports. Each class will read, write and submit via email a book report of their choice for each one of the following genres. (listed on web site) The way the project will work is that each week, we will choose a story from our own libraries that suits the assigned genre headings. We will then read the story as a class and decide on a form of report to be submitted about our chosen story. e.g. formal written including Title, Author, What I liked Best or drawing of favorite character and written expression of favorite part, a story map, etc. Project Coordinator: Debra L.
