Cup of Characters
Pick out a science fiction or fantasy
book. Have it OK’ by Ms. Panella or 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!!!!
Here's an example of student work from the past.
