December Book Share - Mysteries!

Mysteries!

December's book share is all about mysteries, one of my favorite genres! Please carefully read the guidelines below with your child and enjoy sharing the love of reading!

Example: One puppet show scene being acted out.

Guidelines:
1. Find yourself a good mystery book. Show it to Mr Mike.

2. Read and enjoy! 

3. Choose one scene from your book that you liked because it was funny, happy, sad, exciting, suspenseful, or made you stop and think. 

4. Cut out a “shadow puppet” for each character in the scene you have chosen. Also, cut out shapes for important objects and scenery. 

5. Plan out your performance. Select an interesting scene from your book.  Start off with a sentence or two of introduction about what happened up to this point. Next, have your characters act out the scene you have chosen. Move the characters as you need, or want to. Make it interesting and gripping! 

6. Conclude with a sentence or two. Try to come up with something more original then, “If you want to know what happens next, read the book.”

7. Be sure that you know your stuff! Don’t read a script to us! You will have to practice a few times before your presentation. Do it for your parents, your little brother, your teddy bear – anyone who will listen! Practicing will make a BIG difference!
