10 New Book Report Ideas To Ease Your Mind

Lesa Bolt - Are you exhausted trying to come up with a new idea on how to prepare your next book report project?

I have compiled a list of ten new ideas you can use to create a unique and unusual presentation to your class.
  • Cut out pictures from a magazine that represents characters, events, and items from your book and organize them onto a poster board. Make sure to illustrate what the exact idea is from your novel.

  • If your read involved someone traveling, create a map showing their starting point and events that happened to them along the way through to the end of the book. This is a great visual for your audience.

  • Make a timeline on a poster board showing the events, when they happened and important points during the timeline and how they related to conflicts and problems in the pages.

  • Write a letter from one character in the book to another.

  • Using your opinion write a new beginning for this piece.

  • Write a different ending for the novel.

  • Make a puppet show of your book using felt and socks to create your characters. Ask your teacher if a classmate can help run the puppet show for the rest of the class to view.

  • Make a talk show from the conflicts and problems in the book. Talk shows love to discuss other peoples problems and get involved in their lives. Why not use the characters from this read?

  • If you were going to have a sequel for this you need some information. Write a few paragraphs about how a sequel should take place.

  • Make a review of this paperback compared with others you have read and critique the novel.


These are new and creative ideas for you to use on your next book report. If you are a teacher why not assign a specific task to your students and give extra points for their creativity.
