Grade Seven Book Report: A nominee from Red Maple

A. Design a title page for this book report. (5)

B. What is the title of your book and who is the author? (2)

C. Use the personality list and describe the two main characters.

Give examples and explain why the main characters behave that way.

Use at least five personality words to describe each character. (5)

e.g. Mr. Giorgi is a hard-working principal who arrives at school

every morning by 8 a.m.

Mrs. Gaston is a very organized and responsible secretary because she

knows where all the files are in the office.

D. Tell if you would like to be the main character’s friend.  Be sure

to explain your reasons. (3)

the resolutions at the end of the story.  (8)

H. If you have a chance to meet the author, what will you ask him/her?  (2)

I. Will you recommend this book to a friend?  Explain your reasons. (3)

J. Find five new words in the story.  Please include the page numbers

where the words can be found.  Use a dictionary and find the meaning

of those words.  Make up your own sentences with the words. (10)

e.g. Soothingly p. 2

Meaning: to make you feel better, more relax.

My own sentence: At leisure, she plays the piano soothingly.
