Alternative book reports go beyond the traditional book report and allow students to express themselves creatively. These reports can be used with any book.

Most reports will work well for any grade (and the rubrics and requirements page reflect these). Where indicated I have included a suggested grade range within the descriptions.

Each Alternative Book Report Includes:

• Student Instructions

• Grading Rubric

• Student Cover Page
