  1. Hamburger Book Report • Literary Terms Review and Directions • Project Due Date: Friday, September 14

  2. Three parts of a detailed paragraph… HOOK Gives the purpose/key point of the whole paragraph Starts the paragraph with a bang! Remember: Write about literature in the present tense (He is, She is…)

  3. BODY • Supports topic sentence with three or more EXAMPLES • Each example is explained/described using DETAILS • Example = He is strong. • Details = muscular, can lift his fifty kilo dog, can run a marathon)

  4. BOOT • Statement that goes back to your key point and “kicks” the reader out of the paragraph • May extend thinking and answer the question “so what?”

  5. HAMBURGER • Purpose: • Review literary terms • Apply literary terms • Review paragraph writing skills • Share good books • Present information in a creative way

  6. Setting: (the lettuce) • Time/Place • Describe the time and place • Tell how they are “hinged” to the events of the plot

  7. Character: (the tomato) • Describe the main character using as many of the six methods as possible (abc, rst) • A = Appearance R = Reputation • B= Behavior S = Setting • C = Conversation T = Thoughts

  8. Summary (the burger) • Keep your opinion out of it • Define the conflict clearly • Describe two-three key events and show sequence of events by using transitional (time-related) words. (then, next, afterwards, finally…) • End with a “teaser” to make the reader curious about the ending

  9. Personal Opinion (the cheese) • Rate your book out of five stars • Give evidence from the story to support your opinion • Evidence may include information about character, author’s style, conflict, setting, but should not repeat other information from the project • Remember that THREE is a magic number in writing

  10. Theme (the mayonnaise) • Write ONE sentence that tells the overall message of the story • What do you think the author wants the reader to know or feel after completing the book? • Be sure the sentence is an opinion statement

  11. Theme…continued Bad example: This book is about the struggle between good and evil. (too vague, does not indicate a message or belief) Good example: Even someone who has made terrible mistakes can redeem himself when he has a good friend to guide him.

  12. Surprise (any ingredient not already included) • Sky’s the limit! • Picture • Map (your vision only) • Timeline • Photos • Drawings • Other? • ORIGINAL Work only
