Due on Tuesday February 28th, 2017

Dear Parents,
Over the mid-winter break your champion will complete a Book Report Fair Project. The purpose of this project is
to encourage students to read more books, to think critically, to make inferences, while showing off their creative
side. Students will create a visual and oral presentation, and answer questions about the book they have read.
Students have the option of selection a fiction, or a nonfiction book.

Grading System
There will be 3 grades for this project
0-10 points for the written part
0-10 points for the Oral presentation part (3 minute presentation)

'" Parents are welcomed to help. However the work must be completed by each
champion independently.
