Bloom’s Ball Book Club Project

Your group will create a “Bloom’s Ball” to show your knowledge of your Book Club selection. As a group, you all will create 12 tiles listed below. These tiles will then be put together to create a Blooms Ball! Read through the explanations below and write the person’s name on the line that will be responsible for creating that tile. Be sure to split up the work evenly! Please have your teacher approve this sheet BEFORE starting your work.
