November Book Share


Cup of Characters
Pick out a science fiction or fantasy book.  Have it OK’ by Mr. Mike.  Enjoy it!

When you finish, you can make your Cup of Characters.  You will need a large paper cup, construction paper, tape, and sticks.
Make a cut out drawing for each important character.  They must be small enough to fit inside your cup.  Tape each one onto a bamboo stick and poke the stick through the bottom of your cup.  On the back side of the cup, tape a scene from your book to act as a backdrop.  On the front of your cup, write the name of your book and its author.

On the day of your presentation, you will talk about your book.  Whenever you mention a character, you need to push his or her stick up from the bottom so that everyone can see that character.  How you tell about the book is up to you.  You may give a description of the book and its characters, maybe give a short summary, or you may even present a small play with your figures!  Remember, your presentation is limited to five minutes.

See your teachers for samples from last year’s cups of characters. 


Have fun!!!!
