The following are the instructions to my book report. I choose Shattered Skies and Darkest Night for them and since they are Warriors... heh.

Feel free to skip this chapter.

The complete book report will be submitted later in this module. Begin reading now in order to complete the book by the time you reach the book report assignment.

The following is the report format. You will find this same information in the assignment titled "5.4.2 Book Report Format." I am including it here so that you will be able to better plan ahead and be prepared to complete that assignment.

This book report has two components: a written paper and a creative project. You may need to submit two files in your final submission.

Part 1: The written paper

The following should be included in the written portion of the report:

Introductory paragraph:

Begin with a sentence that grabs the reader's attention:

For the book Kidnapped, you might begin with something like,"Imagine that you are suddenly trapped in a far away place..."

Include the book title and author.

Give a BRIEF introduction of the plot in a few sentences.

End the paragraph with your thesis statement.

Body Paragraphs:

Begin each paragraph with a topic sentence.

Topic #1 – Setting

Topic #2 – Plot

Topic #3 – Characters

Use transitions between paragraphs.

Concluding Paragraph:

Re-state your thesis.

Is there a Christian Worldview in this book? Explain yes or no, and give examples from the book to support your discussion.

Give a personal recommendation of the book (be sure to include reasons for your recommendation).

End with a clincher sentence that will help the reader remember your position.

Part 2: The Project

You will choose some creative method to represent your book. You may choose from the following options:

Character Reenactment video – Dress up like a main character in your book and explain the book from that character's perspective. Include an introduction, explanation of the plot (what happens to this character and other characters), your character's recommendation of the book, and a conclusion.

Poster Presentation – Create a poster depicting the overview of the book. This needs to be quite detailed. You may draw a series of pictures or create a collage of pictures that explain the plot and characters as well as your opinion/recommendation of the book.

The Missing Chapter – Write another chapter of the book that would better tie up a loose end or develop a minor character more fully...

Another Alternate Ending – Write an alternate ending to this book. How might the plot have taken a different path? What if one of the main characters had made a different choice? What if the conflict was resolved in a different way? You get to choose!

To put flamers at ease...

Here is part of S is for Sibling if you want to go read the rest of it. It is a medium length one-shot.

The brothers padded into Waveclan territory. The territory is mostly open on the beaches, though there are often boulders scattered around, and steep, rocky hills border the edges of the beach, dotted with shrubs and grasses. The beaches are battered by the ocean's waves and tides, and the sea produces fog on windy days. Many tide pools are nestled between the rocks on the shore.

"So, where did you want to take me?" Sandypaw meowed, gazing around the area of land.

"Near the Unclaimed Territory! It isn't as sandy or rocky there…. Hey!" He grinned. "I said your name!" Sunpaw grinned, his brown eyes bright.

Sandypaw scoffed with a slight smirk. "That you did."

Sunpaw flicked his tail happily as he bounced toward the border.

Once they reached the flat area, Sandypaw looked back at his brother and asked again. "So what are we doing-"

Before he could finish his sentence, the pale ginger leapt at his brother with a laugh. "I'm going to beat you!" Sunpaw pushed Sandypaw to the ground.

The tom tumbled to the ground. Pushing himself to his paws, he exclaimed, "You can try!" Sandypaw crouched down before pouncing on his brother.

"No fair! I wasn't ready!" Sunpaw squealed, leaping out of the way.

"And neither was I!" Sandypaw called, racing after him.

"Touche!" He glanced behind him with a laugh.

As the brothers played, they didn't realize a certain ginger creature sneaking up on them.

Sandypaw managed the pin Sunpaw down. "I win!" The tom puffed out his chest.

"Okay! Okay! You win! Now get off of me!" Sunpaw laughed, smacking him with his tail.

Sandypaw stepped off of him and Sunpaw rolled to his paws.
