Reading+Workshop+Report+Template

====This is the **Reading Workshop report template and directions**. Just fill out this exact template (shown here in **bold**). The completed, typed (14 point font, double spaced) template serves as your report. Students must complete two reports every quarter. ====

**BOOK LENGTH: **
====**BRIEF SUMMARY**: (This includes a description of the setting, characters, and major plot events. This is a summary of the whole story, including the ending and it should be 1-2 pages in length. The summary must be organized, in paragraph form, and have minimal technical errors.) ====

==== **MAIN CONFLICT**: (What is the main problem that the protagonist faces? What type of conflict is it? Does the character struggle with an external or internal conflict? Explain in detail in a well-developed paragraph.) ====

**RESOLUTION**: (How exactly is the conflict resolved? Explain in detail in a well-developed paragraph.)
==== **AUTHOR'S INTENT**: (Explain what the message of the story is and why you think that. You can consult his author's intent notes - found in his LA/Lit notes - in order to follow the author's intent format. You need to state the message of the book and then use compelling, convincing details from the text to support this claim. After you have offered proof/evidence from the text, you need to restate and rephrase the message of the story. This should be a full paragraph.) ====

====**GRADE WITH REASONS**: (This is where you give the book a letter grade and explain in detail why you gave it that grade. This section is about being honest and be specific. What did you like/dislike about the book? Why? The "why" is very important here.) ====
