Brown Bag Book Report
Directions:
Students will use a brown grocery bag or lunch bag to present their book orally to the class.
The title of the book (or essay), the author’s name, and a scene from the passage should be drawn or
created neatly on the front of the bag.
Students need to choose 4-6 items related to the essay or symbolic of the essay to place in their bag.
Students will present orally to the class using their objects to help discuss the details of the essay. The
objects should enhance the presentation, not be an added feature.
Students may write notes on index cards for the presentation, but no written report will be submitted.
Students will be assessed on the information provided in the oral presentation with their brown bag.
Students will also be assessed on presentation traits such as volume, enunciation, eye contact, etc.
Presentations should last approximately 3-5 minutes.
