Teacher Directions and Ideas:
Every month my students read a different genre of book and complete a creative book report that they present to the class as part of their Language Arts grade.
It’s time to be creative! The Unrealistic Fiction Character Star Book Report requires the students to learn about inside and outside character traits, read an unrealistic fiction book, and create a character star poster. On the day they present their book reports to the class they dress up as the main character from their book. Students absolutely love doing this book report! What a fun and creative way to get students reading and presenting! It includes a rubric for grading purposes.
This Book Report product includes:*Unrealistic Fiction Vocabulary Poster*Student/Parent directions for this Book Report*Character Star Template and directions*Character Star Organizer *Grading Rubric*List of Suggested Unrealistic Fiction Books
Happy Reading!

Genre: Unrealistic fiction
Definition: A story that could not happen in the real world. (Think: ghost, wizards, superheroes, talking animals, and other worlds.)
Type of report: Book character dress up and character star book report form.
It’s time to be creative! For the Unrealistic Fiction Book Report, you will be dressing up as the book character of your choice. Pick an unrealistic fiction book from home or select one from the school library. Then start reading! After reading your book, you will become the main character to present your report. There is no need to go out and buy a costume. Be creative and see what you can find around the house. Use any art supplies you have, and look through your closets to see what you might be able to use. After deciding on your costume, you will make a character star using the template on the next pages. Please recreate the character star on a poster. You will complete each point of the star as shown, using your Character Star Organizer. The character stars will be presented to the class while you are dressed up as a character from the book.
