Book Report Ideas
Theme: Historical Fiction
Definition: A
fictional story with real and invented characters that takes place during a
historical time.
Directions: Choose a book that fits the category of historical fiction and have Mrs. McLaughlin
approve it (otherwise you’ll lose points). Write a summary
of the book and then choose one of the activities below to present to your
classmates.
- After reading a book of history
or historical fiction, make an illustrated timeline showing events of the
story and draw a map showing the location(s) where the story took place.
- Construct puppets and present a
show of one or more interesting parts of the book.
- Dress as one of the characters
and act out a characterization (talk about your character as if you ARE
the character).
- Imagine that you are the author
of the book you have just read. Suddenly the book becomes a best seller.
Write a letter to a movie producer trying to get that person interested in
making your book into a movie. Explain why the story, characters,
conflicts, etc., would make a good film. Suggest a filming location and
the actors to play the various roles. YOU MAY ONLY USE BOOKS WHICH HAVE
NOT ALREADY BEEN MADE INTO MOVIES.
- Write a book review
as it would be done for a newspaper. (Be sure you read a few book reviews before
writing your own.)
