Literature Circle Book Guides
Due Date: 10A March 25/10B March 28
After you have finished your book, your group will use Weebly to create a reader's guide. Your reader's guide should have the following pages:
1. Author Information - This page should include essential biographical information important
to understanding the book as well as a list of other books he/she has written
2. Character List - This page should include a list of the major and minor characters with an
brief description of their personalities and roles in the book
3. Plot Overview - This page should include a short review of all the major/most important events in the book. Think about the Plot Pyramid we discussed in class - exposition, big event/inciting incident, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution.
4. Chapter Summary - This page should include a summary of the most important events in the chapter.
5. Important Quotations - Choose 5 of the most important passages in the book that are essential to our understanding of the book.
6. Vocabulary Words - Collect 30 important vocabulary words in the book. Include the definition, the page number, the sentence you found it in the book and a picture to go with it.
7. Discussion Questions - Include 10 questions that will lead to an interesting discussion of the meaning of the book. Do not include basic points of the book like, "What color is the man's shirt on page 12."
8. Book Quiz - Write 20 multiple choice questions that cover the entire book.
Refer to the book guides from last year for reference. I will update it when I have time. All work must be your own writing. No work from other sites will be excepted.
