READING FAIR 2020

WHAT IS A READING FAIR? A READING FAIR is an event where students are given the opportunity to showcase a book that they love by creating a display that honors that book. Their display can be as creative as their imagination allows!

WHAT kinds of projects can we create? Students will create a storyboard project, using a trifold presentation board and whatever materials the student wants to use. Be creative! Here are some examples. . .

. . . a storyboard project for ‘Freckle Juice’. . . This project even includes the ingredients for freckle juice!

. . . a storyboard project for ‘Gingerbread Mouse’. . . The student who created this project built an actual gingerbread house!

. . . a storyboard project for ‘Chocolate Fever’. . . This project had a number of 3 -D chocolaty objects attached (empty, of course!)

. . . and a storyboard project for ‘The Crayon Box That Talked’. The student who created this project glued on lots of crayons and crayon boxes for a 3 -D effect.
