RINGO Project Choices for October:

  1. Create a Poster-Large letters, bright colors, creativity, and a variety of materials. Cover the entire poster! We should be able to learn about your book just by looking at your poster! Be prepared to explain the different sections of your poster during your presentation.
  2. Build a Diorama-Take off the lid to a shoebox. Create a scene from the book inside the shoebox. Use colored paper and objects to make this scene. Be prepared to discuss the scene and provide a summary during your presentation.
  3. T.V. Time-Make a five-inch slit in a shoebox that is decorated to look like a T.V. Run a long 5 inch paper strip through the slit. Divide the strip into as many sections as there are chapters. Include enough sections to put the title, author, and your name at the front. Draw a picture and write a few sentences in each section for each chapter. Pull the strip through the slit as you tell about the book during your presentation.
  4. Create the Character-You become the main character and tell the story. You are in costume of the main character and tell us about yourself. (Good for a biography book.)
  5. Spin a Story Web-Make a web of information about your book on poster board. Place the main character in the middle and run supporting characters and chapters of the main character. Be prepared to describe each character and chapter of your web during your presentation.
  6. Create A Vest-Using a large paper grocery bag, slit it down the front. Arm holes and a V-neck can be added. Design and color the vest to retell or represent the story. Two sacks can be pieced together if needed for a larger vest. Be prepared to discuss the story in detail during your presentation.
  7. Book Medallion-Cut a large circle from tag board or poster board. Retell the story by decorating it with scenes from the book. Wear it around your neck and retell the story for your presentation.
  8. Windsocks- Use a 12x18 piece of construction paper for the body. The title, author, and picture of your favorite part of the story go on it. The streamers are cut from construction paper. Write additional information on them like names and description of main characters, setting, etc. Describe and discuss the different [arts of your windsock for your presentation.
  9. Sandwich Board- Make these out of tag board or poster board. Attach string so they'll hang over the kids' shoulders. There should be one board on each side of the child's body. On one side write the title of the book, the author, and the main characters with a description of the character. On the other side, draw a picture of the part of the book you liked the best and give a brief description or summary of that part. Be prepared to discuss your favorite part and why for your presentation.

10. lt's in the Bag!- A plain brown lunch sack can be decorated to show scenes from a favorite chapter. Objects, which relate to the story can be placed inside and taken out to represent certain parts of the book, as you retell the story for your presentation.

11. Story Cubes- Use an empty tissue box that is shaped like a cube. Cover each side with white computer paper. Decorate the six sides to help you retell the story. Do more drawing then writing. Retell the tory for your presentation.

13. Collage- Cover a poster board with pictures cut from magazines that help tell your story. Don't let any poster board show except for where you put the title and your name. Discuss each picture and explain how it relates to the story for your presentation.

14. Map It- On a large piece of poster board, draw a map showing the different settings that were in your story. At each place draw a picture that illustrates the setting and write a sentence that tells what happened there. Make a paper doll character and move it around the map as you retell the story.

15. Book Parade Float- Create a float to advertise your book. The body of the float can be on a shoebox (wheels can be attached underneath). The top of the float can be decorated any way you wish to tell about your book. Be sure to include the title and author of the book.

All of the notes sections must be utilized. The title of the TEXT is on the first slide and the author of the TEXT is on the same slide as the title. The additional slides contain a summary of the TEXT either/or in word and picture form as well as any other information you wish to include. You may either save it to a flash drive, or email it to me before the due date so that you may present it on time.

17. Cereal Boxes - Take a large cereal box, slit it down the middle in the front and then across the top and bottom from the middle so it opens like a closet or cupboard. Decorate the front like a book cover and fill the inside with pictures and words that relate to the story.Present as if you are retelling the story using props.
