My students chose to read a mystery for their next book report. Does anyone have a form for a mystery book report or a cute book project? Thanks.

Try abcteach.. They have many different types to choose from. I have used many of them.

We did a mystery/adventure book report in 1st quarter and did Story Skeletons. Also, using a "mystery bag" to give their report is also fun. Students put items in the bag that are representative of something in their book. When they pull it out of the bag, they share how it relates to a story element of the book.

I've gotten both of these ideas from Mrs. Renz's website and then tweaked them for my class.

I've used this one when the kids do an independent book report. It came from edhelper, btw.

Thanks to all of you for taking the time to respond. I definitely will use the ideas.

Thank you for the idea. I think I'll use it and tweak it a little. I love this site. It's the first time I've used it in almost 14 years of teaching!

Hi All,

Thank you for the ideas and book report form. I ended up using the Mystery/Suspense Book Report. I think this is detailed and simple enough for my 8th Grade ESL students. They are reading a book independantly during the time we have access testing.
