September Book Report
Grade 7 Reading
Mr. Andrade
Due Date: October 1, 2008
Please select ONE of the options below for your book report on Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie by Jordan Sonnenblick:1.) Pick a scene and retell the events from a different character's perspective. Identify the scene, the character and how the scene is different in your retelling. Imagine you have entered the mind of that other character. You can write the scene (one page) as if you are that character recounting the events. You may want to use dialogue.
2.) Compare/Contrast one of the characters with someone you really know. Use specific examples about appearance, actions, personality, likes/dislikes, vocabulary, etc. Support your examples with citations from the novel (please include page numbers) - 1 page.
3.) Write a different ending for this book. Try to maintain consistency with the author's style. You must actually write the ending and not simply describe it (1 page).
4.) Make six or more cartoons or drawings that show the major events in the story. Below each write a brief explanation of each scene.
5.) Describe what would happen if you were to change the setting of the novel. Be specific. Remember, the setting is both time and place. Would characters change? Would the plot have to change? Explain. (1 page)
Oral presentation will be part of your grade for this assignment.
