Mystery, Thriller, Horror, Suspense Book Report
About This Product
Students often love the mystery, thriller, horror, and suspense genre, as evidenced by their choice of TV series, movies, and books to read. Perfect for 6th to 9th graders, The Mystery, Thriller, Horror, Suspense Book Report serves as a culminating project at the end of a unit on this genre. It also is a stand-alone project if you assign regular book reports.
The project requires students to analyze their books by looking at the elements of fiction, mood, suspense, and other literary devices. Students will provide text evidence to show their understanding of the various elements and concepts in a formal project. It also gives students the opportunity to share their books in small groups as well as complete a self-evaluation on their project, specifically on their process.
The project includes:
--a Book Browse lesson plan and handout
--detailed lesson plans with objectives and learning targets that are aligned with the Common Core Standards
--easy-to-follow student directions
--self-evaluation
--check off and grading sheet
I have produced a number of book reports that you might be interested in.
