INSTRUCTIONS
1) Use 3 sheets of computer paper, construction paper or card stock. Holding them
together vertically, fan the sheets out. Placing one on top of the other, approximately ¾
inch apart, from the bottom of each sheet. Hold them in that fanned position and fold
down all the papers from the top so there are equal sized sections. You should end up
with a wider title page on top and five sections below. Place two staples on the fold line
using a special long-reach stapler. (I can help you with this in class and will also have an
example for you to see.)
2) Label the page edges as in the picture provided below:
Title Page (top section): Include the title of the book, the author, your name
and date, and the genre of the story. (Mrs. Gordon or I can help you with the genre
if you don’t know it.) Draw a picture to represent the title of the book on the title
page.
Setting: Tell where and when the story took place. Include any details to
help the reader learn about the time period and setting.
Characters: Tell all about the main characters, who they were, and a little
bit about them. Are they related? Did anyone do anything interesting, special, or
courageous? Draw sketches of the characters or find pictures in magazines or of
movie stars that you think your character might look like.
Problem and Solution: Choose four problems from the story and the
solutions to each problem and tell about them. You can put two problems in each
section. Include a sketch if it helps the explanation.
Interesting Information or Timeline: In this section tell interesting things
you learned from your book. You can draw or create a timeline of events if it is
appropriate to the story you read.
