If yes, then this article will help you

24、 make reading and reviewing books more creative for your class. In an age of PSPs, Xbox, anime and gaming arcades, reading has lost its foothold in the list of hobbies that children tend to cite. Most of the reading that kids do today, comes in the form of compulsory books that they need to read for

25、 school and maybe that is the reason they find reading to be an insurmountable and boring task. If you want to inculcate the love for languages and literary masterpieces in your students and want them to devour books everyone should read, then a good way of going about the same would be to get them

26、to start working on creative book report ideas. While working on creative ideas for book reports, your students will have to understand the book in a way that allows them to come up with new ways to present to the class, the essence of the book. B)As a teacher, while egging your students to activate

27、 their creative gray cells, you will have to help them out with basic ideas that they can work on. Depending on the age bracket that your students belong to, the creative book report ideas will vary. This is so, not just because of the varying attention spans that children of various age groups poss

28、ess but also because of the amount of work that kids can put into the report. While a middle school student will be comfortable handling a handy cam, a student from elementary school will be more fascinated if he is working with paints and puppets. So do you want to know how to write a book report c

29、reatively? In this article, we will list out for you, a couple of good creative book report ideas for elementary students and for middle school students. C)A book report sandwich is a good creative idea for book reports. As a teacher you can get drawings of a sandwich on sheets of paper that are of

30、the color of the ingredients of your sandwich, for example, a cream sheet of paper to resemble mayonnaise, red to represent tomato and likewise. Obviously, each ingredient should be cut in a way that when assembled together, it looks like a sandwich. Now, give each of your students one of these book

31、 sandwiches to create their book report. It can start with the name of the book and the authors name on the top slice of the sandwich. The second ingredient can have the summary of the book on it. Each subsequent ingredient can have a description of the main characters, the setting of the book, the

32、plot, and then his or her views about the book. Once they are done with their book reports, they can staple the book sandwich together and then, you can create a class bulletin board with all the book report sandwiches on display. D)One of the good techniques is to retell a story; it is also one of

33、the favorite creative book report ideas among students. The job that the student will have is to read the book and then pick a few objects at his/her home which will allow him/her to retell the story in a way that makes it interesting for his/ her audience. Every time he/she picks out an object from

34、 the bag to report the book he/she has read, there has to be a valid connection between the book and the object, which the student can first ask the audience to guess and then go ahead and explain it. This idea is spin-off on the normal show and tells and allows for an interactive book report sessio

35、n. E)This is one of the creative ideas for book reports in which, as the teacher, you will have to divide your class into groups and give them one book each. The students can then read the book and get together and write a play and act it out for the class. To give a deeper insight into the book, on

36、e of the students can play the role of the author and as a group, the students can try and recreate the thought process of the author. The student playing the role of the author can then interrupt the play at important junctures and talk about the reasons for these twists in the play and how he/she

37、came up with these plot lines. F)As a young adult, your students fascination may go beyond the immediate concerns of the book. He/she may want to understand the circumstances in which the book was written, the times then, the events happening in the world and get the authors perspective about the bo

38、ok. Encourage your students to think on those lines. Divide the class into pairs and give each pair one book to read. Let them then do the roles of the author and a journalist. You can have an interview session in front of the class, enabling them to dissect the book and get a peek into the authors

39、world. G)In a technology-obsessed world, it may be a very tiny minority of your class that does not get excited with the prospect of shooting a film. It is one of the best creative book report ideas for middle school, and you will need to divide the class into groups and give them at least two month

40、s to adapt the book that they have been assigned, into a film. The movie should have a well-adapted screenplay, and all other prerequisites, like a lighting engineer, sound engineer, costume designer, etc. At the end of the given time, the film can be screened in front of the class and then discusse

41、d. H)If you are on the lookout for good individual creative book report ideas, then this one could be for you. Assign every student a book and then ask them to start maintaining a diary, from the authors point of view. Ask them to come up with imaginary incidents from the authors life and use histor

42、ical events to explain why the author wrote the book in a certain manner. Alternately, you can also ask your students to give a surrogate ending to the story. I)These are just few of the options that you could use to inspire your students to come up with creative book report ideas. As kids we tend t

43、o be more imaginative and creative. Encourage your students to think out of the box and appreciate them for their efforts. This will help you have a class that is not only lively and inquisitive by nature but also a class that will cultivate a love for words. 47 Teachers can create a class bulletin

44、board to display all the book report sandwiches after their students finish their reports. 48 Adopting the method of knowing your author, teachers can encourage students to think beyond the immediate concerns of the book. 49 Asking the students to write from their own point of view is suitable for t

45、eachers who are on the lookout for good individual creative book report ideas. 50 Retelling a story is one of the favorite creative book report ideas among students and it tells and allows for an interactive book report session. 51 Nowadays, most of book children read are those they need to read for

46、 school. 52 As kids teachers tend to be more imaginative and creative. 53 While working on creative ideas for book reports, students will have to understand the book. 54 The creative book report ideas vary according to ages because children in different age groups have different attention span. 55 I

47、f teachers ask their students to shoot a film about a book, they should give them no fewer than two months. 56 That teachers have to divide their class into groups and give them one book each is a good creative book report ideas. Section C 56 Because of satellite links which now enable broadcast new

48、s organizations to originate live programming from any part of the globe, the entire world is becoming one giant sound stage for television news. As a result, Shakespeares famous line, “all the world is a stage,“ has taken on an interesting new twist in meaning. Even before todays worldwide satellit

49、e links were possible, the growing effect of broadcast news technology on national and international politics was becoming increasingly evident. Because television is a close-up medium and a medium that seems to most readily involve emotions, it is most effective when it is revealing the plights of people. During the Vietnam War, reading about war was one thing, but war took on a deeper and more unsavory(令人讨厌的 )dimension when it was exported directly int
