February Book Report Assignment


February Project
Character Haiku’s
Type of book:  Historical Fiction or Biography

Directions:

            *Find a historical fiction or biography book that looks great!  Okay it with your teacher the first week of February.  This will be a book where the setting takes place in another period of history or a book written about an actual person.  Examples are Colonial America, Days of Slavery, Exploring the American Frontier, etc.  Ask for help finding a book if you find it difficult.

            *A haiku is an ancient form of Japanese poetry that paints a meaningful picture in just a few words.  We’ve written these in class.  For a quick review, the first line has five syllables, the second line has seven and the third line has five. Example:

George Washington

Our first president
A trustworthy and brave man
Courageous and good

            *Write your haiku’s (you’ll need 3 of them) neatly and check for correct spelling.  Mount the haiku on construction paper.  Please make sure to have them colored and of the best quality. 
           
            *Include the title, author and copyright.

Materials Needed:  Historical fiction book, construction paper, markers, pen and/or crayons and glue.

DUE DATE:  February 28
