Character Book Report Day!

Josiah has been working on his very first book report, which was due today.  Josiah was to read a chapter book of his choice & then to take an AR test on that book.  He must receive an 80% or higher on that AR test to use that book for his report.  His teacher gave them the body parts of a scarecrow & a piece of yellow poster board.  They were to fill each body part with descriptions of the book (title, author, genre, rating, plot, character names & traits, problem/solutions, setting & time).  On the due date, they were to come to school dressed as the main character from their book & present their scarecrow to the class by reading each part.

Today was the day!  Josiah chose "Star Wars The Clone Wars: The Hunt for Grievous" as his book.  He tested on this book a couple of weeks ago & was given permission to complete his scarecrow.  He worked diligently on this at home each afternoon.  He colored each part & wrote the descriptions himself.  We pasted his scarecrow to the poster board & he was done.  He dressed up as Obi-Wan Kenobi from the Clone Wars.  He was so excited to go to school all dressed up on Halloween as one of his favorite characters.

He presented his book report in class today & ended with "This book takes place in space & it happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away."  He said his class erupted in laughter because that was such a cool way to end his presentation.  Josiah got a 100% on his report!  In the comments section of his grading sheet, the teacher said, "Great Presentation!"  Congratulations, Josiah!  We are so glad you did great on Character Book Report Day!
