Here is a very creative book narrative idea that is great for elementary age children but I think students in middle school or junior high would advantage from it as well.
I helped my daughter put in order a book narrative and she loves subway sandwiches so I recommended she make her book narrative like a sandwich. She could use some old cardboard boxes and some colorful building paper and my large furnish of craft and scrapbook scissors with all kinds of unique shapes to make a fun book report.
Here is what you will need.
2 pieces of brown cardboard
Colored building paper
A pencil or pen to write on the paper
Paper punches and scissors with different designs
A brad for securing all of it together when finished
Markers
Have the child write the title of the book on one of the pieces of cardboard and this will be the sandwich top. Cut it out in a bread shape. Let them use bold colorful markers for this so you can see it well.
When you open the sandwich top let your child pick what is next on the sandwich such as the cheese and write the basic time line of the book on this paper. You will want to cut it in a quadrate like cheese.
Next you may have lettuce on the sandwich and you can put a brief narrative of the book here.
The next piece of the sandwich you can add the meat and write the setting of the book. You can cut this into anything shape you like.
Do you like tomato on your sandwich? Put the main characters on this. Cut out a piece of red paper and make it round like a tomato slice.
What interested you about the book the most? This would be the main topics of the book. Put this on the pieces of onion. You can put several pieces and put a topic or data sentence on each piece of onion. Use white paper for this and cut in rings like an onion ring.
What conflicts or problems were in the book. Put each of these on the green peppers. Again you can write on each pepper strip. Use green paper and make these ling thin strips of paper.
Put an additional one piece of cheese on now. Maybe make this swiss cheese with lots of holes and put your notion about the book. What did it make you think about?
On the last piece of cardboard delineate the ending but do not give away the whole book. This would be the bottom piece of bread.
Now put all the book together and put a small hole in the end through all the pieces of the sandwich and gather with a brad so that you can move each piece upward and out of the way as you gift the book narrative but the whole sandwich will not come apart.
Enjoy doing this with your kids or let them use their imagination themselves so see how creative they can be.
