Historical Fiction:
A Book Presentation
A
historical fiction story tells a narrative about characters in real-life events
from the past.
 |
| Example Mobile Project. |
Your
book presentation genre for February is historical fiction. You will make a mobile to help you share some
of the things you learned. Here’s what
you will need to do…
1. Choose a book and have Mr. Mike OK it. Read and enjoy!
2. Look back over the book and choose at least
five things that you learned or understand better. You will use these for your mobile.
3. Gather
materials:
·
A
solid support—a piece of wood, a hanger, a stick, ???
·
String
or yarn
·
Poster
board or light cardboard
4. Choose
a shape that represents your topic (for example if your topic is the
underground railroad, you might choose a train, or river-crossing). You can choose several different shapes if
you would like (for example, if your book was on migration, you might choose
suitcase, map, or railroad tracks).
5. Cut
out one shape from the poster board or cardboard for each fact and one for the
title and author.
6. Write one
of the facts on each of your shapes (and the book title and author on another). Be sure that it is written neatly and has no
mistakes. You can look back in your book
for things like spelling or the correct date.
7. Punch
a hole in the top of each shape and use the string or yarn to attach them to
the support. Having different yarn
lengths may make your mobile more interesting to look at.
8. On the
date of your presentation, you will share the book’s title and author (after your attention-getting introduction!). You will also give your presentation as usual
according to the rubric we always use. Then you will show your
shapes and tell why you picked each fact as being special. You will share your opinion of the book and
then have a strong closing that will let the audience know that you have
finished and that they can applaud loudly!
*Please note: Due to Winter Break, we are not sharing during the month of January. When students return from break, they will have time to choose a book, read it, and then prepare their project. Students will present their Historical Fiction book on their day in February.
