Sandwich book report project templates: teaching resources set, what's included.

Sandwich Book Report Projects: Your students will be anxious to be chefs and create a delicious sandwich filled with information about all the key elements of the books that they have read.

These sandwich shaped graphic organizers will provide you with all of the teaching resources that you need for your students to write about the important "layers" of their books. Each layer of the book is a different layer in this sandwich book report project.

Traditionally, requiring students to write about the main elements of a story is a task most students find quite boring. By using this uniquely shaped book report that contains sandwich graphic organizers, your students will be hungry and enthusiastic to start this delicious reading project!

This uniquely shaped book report project contains seven worksheet templates for the different layers of this sandwich project. The 7 layers are stapled together to form a sandwich flip book (see examples above.)

Each layer of this sandwich book report project is approximately 7 inches in height and 7 inches in width (see example on the left.)

Everything that you need to complete these sandwich book report projects is included in this set of teaching resources. All that you will need is scissors, glue, a stapler, and coloring pencils.

There are 19 printable worksheets and template pages in this set of reading resources, as well as a 5 page color bulletin board display banner.

These finished sandwich book report projects will make a colorful and dynamic bulletin board display of your students' work.

In addition, this set of reading resources includes 8 accent pieces in the shape of a piece of bread that can be used as accent pieces for your classroom bulletin board display.

Note :  Due to spelling differences in English (Examples: color/colour and favorite/favourite), there are two separate sets of  worksheets and templates included in this set of teaching resources.

You can select the version ( U.S. or U.K. spelling rules) that contains the spelling that is used in the country where you live. 

The worksheets and templates that are shown on this page use  U.S. spelling rules .

Assembling Directions:

This set of teaching resources includes assembling directions on how to prepare and assemble this sandwich book report project.

Below is an example of the assembling directions worksheet.

Grading Rubric:

A book report grading rubric is included in this set of teaching resources.

I believe that it is important for students to evaluate their own work, so my book report rubric contains an assessment section for both students and teachers .

When students evaluate their book report projects, they color in the faces on their grading rubric worksheets.

When a teacher evaluates the projects, the teacher circles the small numbers inside each box on the printable worksheets.

Below is an example of my sandwich book report grading rubric.

First Draft Worksheets:

I believe that the writing process is important and that teachers should use process writing whenever possible.

For this reason, my students never begin their book report projects by writing on their final draft sandwich templates, instead they write on first draft worksheets .

Next, my students edit and revise their written work on their own, with a partner, or in individual writing conferences with me.

This sandwich book report project is divided into 7 writing sections:

• Top Layer of Bread: Title, author, genre, student name, date, and illustration
• Bottom Layer of Bread: My Favorite Part and Illustration

This set of teaching resources contains 3 printable worksheets for students to write their first drafts on.

On my first draft worksheets, I have designed the writing line spaces to match the spaces allotted on the final draft sandwich templates.

First Draft Worksheet #1: Students write the title, author, and genre of the book. This information is written in the top layer of the bread.

Students write about the setting of the book in the tomato template and they describe the main and minor characters in the onion template.

First Draft Worksheet #2: Students write about the problem , complication, or challenge that the main character must solve or overcome in the lettuce template .

Next, students write about the story climax in the cheese template.

First Draft Worksheet #3: Students write about the solution and conclusion of the book in the meat template .

Finally, students write about their favorite part of the story in the bottom bread template.

Black and White Sandwich Templates:

This book report project contains 7 templates that are stapled together at the top to form a sandwich flip book.

The finished sandwich book report project includes 7 sandwich layers and each layer of the sandwich is approximately 7 inches in height and 7 inches in width.

Color Sandwich Templates:

When I am first introducing my students to a new book report project, I believe that it is important for them to have a visual example of what a completed project looks like.

I always complete an example of this sandwich book report project before I introduce this assignment to my students.

Before my students begin writing their first drafts, I show them my finished sandwich project. This visual example immediately grabs my students' attention and they are excited to start working on this project from the very beginning. I have found that my students are engaged and use their best effort as they go through the steps of the writing process and complete this fun book report project.

My students also enjoy hearing about the book that I chose to do my book report project on. This is also a wonderful opportunity to share a book that I would like to encourage my students to read.

To save you time in coloring your example that you show to your students, I have included color sandwich templates in this teaching resources set. I display my finished sandwich book report at the front of my classroom so that students can refer to it as they are completing their own sandwich projects.

Above: Sandwich Color Templates  7 worksheets that are cut out and then stapled together to form a sandwich flip book.

Free 5 page bulletin board display banner:.

I know that it takes teachers a lot of time to design and assemble their classroom bulletin board displays.

Many teachers spend their valuable time cutting out large display letters or making a banner at home on their own computers.

In order to help save you time in assembling a bulletin board display featuring your students' sandwich book report projects, I have designed a 5 page banner that is included for free in this set of teaching resources.

If you have access to a laminating machine, I recommend that you laminate your banner so that it will be more durable and you can use it again in the future.

Above: Sandwich Bulletin Board Banner 5 printable worksheets that are glued together to form a long bulletin board display banner.

Free bulletin board display accent pieces:.

EXTRA GOODIES: I have created some sandwich themed accent pieces to assist you in decorating your bulletin board display featuring your students' finished sandwich projects.

I have designed 8 sandwich accent pieces that contain slogans written on them that promote reading.

• Snack on a Book Today!
• We are Hungry to Read Books!

Book report sandwich

by Kim Kautzer | Mar 22, 2012 | Teaching Homeschool Writing

ARE YOUR kids tired of the typical, ho-hum, “this book is about” book report?

Here’s a fun variation to try: A book report sandwich .

Preparing the Ingredients

First, make templates for the various  sandwich ingredients . Using similar dimensions for each item, draw the following elements on plain white paper. Then, photocopy as many as you need onto colored paper.

• Bread slice (2) – brown or tan
• Lunch meat – pink
• Cheese – orange or yellow
• Tomato – red
• Lettuce – green
• Mayonnaise – white

Creating the Book Report

Each “ingredient” represents one element of of the book. After reading a book, write the different parts of the report on the various sandwich fixin’s—much more fun than writing out a traditional book report on lined paper!

• Top bread slice: Write the book title and author.
• Lettuce: Summarize the plot.
• Tomato slice: Tell some interesting facts and details about the main character.
• Mayonnaise layer: Describe the book’s setting.
• Cheese slice: Describe your favorite part of the story.
• Lunch meat: Give your opinion of the book.
• Bottom bread slice: Draw a favorite scene from the book.

When finished, staple your sandwich together into a mini book you can sink your teeth into!

What are some of your favorite creative book report ideas?

#MakeItMonday: How to make a sandwich-style book report

For my first #MakeItMonday project. I gave a try to what I thought was a brilliant alternative book report. My daughter's 7th grade language arts teacher calls them book finales. She doesn't believe in boring book reports.

I found this to be a great way to summarize the book and also to share details about the book. And it really made me excited to do create a "book finale." I also felt that this project worked well with Charlotte's Web. E.B. White writes about Wilbur's menu offering many times in the book. It seemed fitting to pick a food format to tell about the book.

One thing I did differently is that I substituted mushrooms for the meat layer. I did this to show my understanding of the book. Wilbur dislikes the thought of being eaten as bacon or ham. He doesn't like the thought of animals dying, but his favorite dream food is truffles from the nearby woods at the farm. So I picked mushrooms to represent this. This demonstrates the creativity that this project can allow students to develop.

In reality this project is really about creating a book to explain the content of another book. The nice thing about this project is it provides a scaffolded, broken down learning approach that could be translated into a written book report. I choose to type my text blocks up. But students could create handwritten text blocks if they did so neatly.

I definitely plan on saving this prototype for my future students in upper elementary grades. When I was reading in one of my education textbooks, I discovered their unlimited types of project-based book reports or summaries. Teachers can get creative in finding ways for students to connect with the texts they are reading.

I will be doing a #MakeItMonday project every other Monday of the month. If you have an idea for a project, or want to share your own contact me by email at [email protected] or post it to my Facebook page at facebook.com/DavidAPaystrup.Education . Also find me on Twitter @DavidAPaystrup .

Back to school after the holiday break often means another session of book reports for many elementary and secondary students. Here's a fun way to share your knowledge about a book in a hands-on way that's more fun that a traditional report.

For mobile readers: Here are the steps of the project.

Step 1: Create top slice of bread by tracing a shaped sandwich container or piece of bread on a brown piece of construction paper. Cut out. Create a label with student's name, class period, book title, author and number of pages.

Step 2: Using a similar shape as the bread slice shape, cut out a square with wavy lines for borders on piece of white construction paper. Create a label describing the setting.

Step 3: Use a compass or large circle stencils to create the shape and details of the slice of tomato on red construction paper. Create a label describing the main characters.

Step 4: Cut out of pink or other meat-like colors of construction paper to create a "slice of meat." Write a brief summary or the story's plot for the label. (In my case, I substituted mushrooms because Wilbur wouldn't eat ham).

Step 5: Cut out a piece of cream or yellow construction paper for cheese. Fold and cut out wholes in different spots for the Swiss cheese effect. Attach a piece of paper that can be drawn on draw your favorite scene from the book and briefly describe what's happening in the scene.

Step 6: Cut out a green piece of construction paper. Possibly, cut out pieces of lettuce or other greens and glue in layers like a collage. Label this part with the story's climax.

Step 7: Cut out a yellow or orange piece of construction paper to look like sauce on the sandwich. Label this piece with the falling action (what happens after the climax of the story).

Step 8 : Create the bottom slice of bread the out of construction paper the same way the top slice was created. Label it with information about the stories conclusion.

Step 9 : Cut out two olive-shaped pieces of construction paper. Take a toothpick or two and glue the toothpick to back of one of the olive pieces. Flip it over and glue the other piece to the first piece and the toothpick. Label the olive with the story's theme. (The olive is shop on slide 1 of this tutorial.)

Step 10: Staple the pieces of the "sandwich" together in the order they are assembled (I used paper fasteners to put this one together).

42 Creative Book Report Ideas for Students

Inspire your students to share their love of books.

Responding to what you read is an important literacy skill. Reading about other people’s experiences and perspectives helps kids learn about the world. And although students don’t need to dive deeply into every single book they read, occasionally digging into characters, settings, and themes can help them learn to look beyond the prose. Here are 42 creative book report ideas designed to make reading more meaningful.

1. Concrete Found Poem

This clever activity is basically a shape poem made up of words, phrases, and whole sentences found in the books students read. The words come together to create an image that represents something from the story.

2. Graphic Novel

Have students rewrite the book they are reading, or a chapter of their book, as a graphic novel. Set parameters for the assignment such as including six scenes from the story, three characters, details about the setting, etc. And, of course, include detailed illustrations to accompany the story.

3. Book Snaps

Book Snaps are a way for students to visually show how they are reacting to, processing, and/or connecting with a text. First, students snap a picture of a page in the book they are reading. Then, they add comments, images, highlights, and more.

4. Diary Entry

Have your students place themselves in the shoes of one of the characters from their book and write a first-person diary entry of a critical moment from the story. Ask them to choose a moment in the story where the character has plenty of interaction and emotion to share in a diary entry.

5. Character To-Do List

This fun activity is an off-the-beaten-path way to dive deep into character analysis. Get inside the head of the main character in a book and write a to-do list that they might write. Use actual information from the text, but also make inferences into what that character may wish to accomplish.

6. Mint Tin Book Report

There are so many super-creative, open-ended projects you can use mint tins for. This teacher blogger describes the process of creating book reports using them. There’s even a free template for cards that fit inside.

7. Fictional Yearbook Entries

Ask your students to create a yearbook based on the characters and setting in the book. What do they look like? Cut out magazine pictures to give a good visual image for their school picture. What kind of superlative might they get? Best looking? Class clown? What clubs would they be in or lead? Did they win any awards? It should be obvious from their small yearbooks whether your students dug deep into the characters in their books. They may also learn that who we are as individuals is reflected in what we choose to do with our lives.

8. Book Report Cake

This project would be perfect for a book tasting in your classroom! Each student presents their book report in the shape of food. See the sandwich and pizza options above and check out this blog for more delicious ideas.

9. Current Events Comparison

Have students locate three to five current events articles a character in their book might be interested in. After they’ve found the articles, have them explain why the character would find them interesting and how they relate to the book. Learning about how current events affect time, place, and people is critical to helping develop opinions about what we read and experience in life.

10. Sandwich Book Report

Yum! You’ll notice a lot of our creative book report ideas revolve around food. In this oldie but goodie, each layer of this book report sandwich covers a different element of the book—characters, setting, conflict, etc. A fun adaptation of this project is the book report cheeseburger.

11. Book Alphabet

Choose 15 to 20 alphabet books to help give your students examples of how they work around themes. Then ask your students to create their own Book Alphabet based on the book they read. What artifacts, vocabulary words, and names reflect the important parts of the book? After they find a word to represent each letter, have them write one sentence that explains where the word fits in.

12. Peekaboo Book Report

Using cardboard lap books (or small science report boards), students include details about their book’s main characters, plot, setting, conflict, resolution, etc. Then they draw a head and arms on card stock and attach them to the board from behind to make it look like the main character is peeking over the report.

13. T-Shirt Book Report

Another fun and creative idea: Create a wearable book report with a plain white tee. Come up with your own using Sharpie pens and acrylic paint. Get step-by-step directions .

14. Book Jacket

Have students create a new book jacket for their story. Include an attractive illustrated cover, a summary, a short biography of the author, and a few reviews from readers.

15. Watercolor Rainbow Book Report

This is great for biography research projects. Students cut out a photocopied image of their subject and glue it in the middle. Then, they draw lines from the image to the edges of the paper, like rays of sunshine, and fill in each section with information about the person. As a book report template, the center image could be a copy of the book cover, and each section expands on key information such as character names, theme(s), conflict, resolution, etc.

16. Act the Part

Have students dress up as their favorite character from the book and present an oral book report. If their favorite character is not the main character, retell the story from their point of view.

17. Pizza Box Book Report

If you’re looking for creative book report ideas that use upcycled materials, try this one using a pizza box. It works well for both nonfiction and fiction book reports. The top lid provides a picture of the book cover. Each wedge of the pizza pie tells part of the story.

18. Bookmark

Have students create a custom illustrated bookmark that includes drawings and words from either their favorite chapter or the entire book.

19. Book Reports in a Bag

Looking for book report ideas that really encourage creative thinking? With book reports in a bag, students read a book and write a summary. Then, they decorate a paper grocery bag with a scene from the book, place five items that represent something from the book inside the bag, and present the bag to the class.

20. Reading Lists for Characters

Ask your students to think about a character in their book. What kinds of books might that character like to read? Take them to the library to choose five books the character might have on their to-be-read list. Have them list the books and explain what each book might mean to the character. Post the to-be-read lists for others to see and choose from—there’s nothing like trying out a book character’s style when developing your own identity.

21. File Folder Book Report

Also called a lap book, this easy-to-make book report hits on all the major elements of a book study and gives students a chance to show what they know in a colorful way.

22. Collage

Create a collage using pictures and words that represent different parts of the book. Use old magazines or print pictures from the Internet.

23. Book Report Triorama

Who doesn’t love a multidimensional book report? This image shows a 3D model, but Elisha Ann provides a lesson to show students how to glue four triangles together to make a 4D model.

24. Timeline

Have students create a timeline of the main events from their book. Be sure to include character names and details for each event. Use 8 x 11 sheets of paper taped together or a long portion of bulletin board paper.

25. Clothes Hanger Book Report Mobile

This creative project doesn’t require a fancy or expensive supply list. Students just need an ordinary clothes hanger, strings, and paper. The body of the hanger is used to identify the book, and the cards on the strings dangling below are filled with key elements of the book, like characters, setting, and a summary.

26. Public Service Announcement

If a student has read a book about a cause that affects people, animals, or the environment, teach them about public service announcements . Once they understand what a PSA is, have them research the issue or cause that stood out in the book. Then give them a template for a storyboard so they can create their own PSA. Some students might want to take it a step further and create a video based on their storyboard. Consider sharing their storyboard or video with an organization that supports the cause or issue.

27. Dodecahedron Book Report

Creative book report ideas think outside the box. In this case, it’s a ball! SO much information can be covered on the 12 panels , and it allows students to take a deep dive in a creative way.

28. Character Cards

Make trading cards (like baseball cards) for a few characters from the book. On the front side, draw the character. On the back side, make a list of their character traits and include a quote or two.

29. Book Report Booklets

This clever book report is made from ordinary paper bags. Stack the paper bags on top of each other, fold them in half, and staple the closed-off ends of the bags together. Students can write, draw, and decorate on the paper bag pages. They can also record information on writing or drawing paper and glue the paper onto the pages. The open ends of the bags can be used as pockets to insert photos, cut-outs, postcards, or other flat items that help them tell their story.

30. Letter to the Author

Write a letter to the author of the book. Tell them three things you really liked about the story. Ask three questions about the plot, characters, or anything else you’re curious about.

31. Book Report Charm Bracelet

What a “charming” way to write a book report! Each illustrated bracelet charm captures a character, an event in the plot, setting, or other detail.

32. Fact Sheet

Have students create a list of 10 facts that they learned from reading the book. Have them write the facts in complete sentences, and be sure that each fact is something that they didn’t know before they read the book.

33. Cereal Box TV Book Report

This book report project is a low-tech version of a television made from a cereal box and two paper towel rolls. Students create the viewing screen cut-out at the top, then insert a scroll of paper with writing and illustrations inside the box. When the cardboard roll is rotated, the story unfolds.

34. Be a Character Therapist

Therapists work to uncover their clients’ fears based on their words and actions. When we read books, we must learn to use a character’s actions and dialogue to infer their fears. Many plots revolve around a character’s fear and the work it takes to overcome that fear. Ask students to identify a character’s fear and find 8 to 10 scenes that prove this fear exists. Then have them write about ways the character overcame the fear (or didn’t) in the story. What might the character have done differently?

35. Mind Maps

Mind maps can be a great way to synthesize what students have learned from reading a book. Plus, there are so many ways to approach them. Begin by writing a central idea in the middle of the page. For example, general information, characters, plot, etc. Then branch out from the center with ideas, thoughts, and connections to material from the book.

36. Foldables

From Rainbows Within Reach , this clever idea would be a great introduction to writing book reports. Adapt the flap categories for students at different levels. Adjust the number of categories (or flaps) per the needs of your students.

37. Board games

This is a great project if you want your students to develop a little more insight into what they’re reading. Have them think about the elements of their favorite board games and how they can be adapted to fit this assignment. For more, here are step-by-step directions .

38. Comic strips

If you’re looking for creative book report ideas for students who like graphic novels, try comic strips. Include an illustrated cover with the title and author. The pages of the book should retell the story using dialogue and descriptions of the setting and characters. Of course, no comic book would be complete without copious illustrations and thought bubbles.

39. Timeline

Create a timeline using a long roll of butcher paper, a poster board, or index cards taped together. For each event on the timeline, write a brief description of what happens. Add pictures, clip art, word art, and symbols to make the timeline more lively and colorful.

40. Cereal Box

Recycle a cereal box and create a book report Wheaties-style. Decorate all sides of the box with information about the book’s characters, setting, plot, summary, etc.

41. Wanted Poster

Make a “wanted” poster for one of the book’s main characters. Indicate whether they are wanted dead or alive. Include a picture of the character and a description of what the character is “wanted” for, three examples of the character showing this trait, and a detailed account of where the character was last seen.

42. Movie Version

If the book your students have read has been made into a movie, have them write a report about how the versions are alike and different. If the book has not been made into a movie, have them write a report telling how they would make it into a movie, using specific details from the book.

The Sandwich Book Report Printable Template is a creative and interactive way for students to summarize and analyze the books they have read. This template gets its name from its unique sandwich-inspired design, which consists of several layers representing different elements of the book. By using this template, students can organize their thoughts and present their findings in a visually appealing and easy-to-understand format.

The template includes sections for the book’s title, author, setting, main characters, plot summary, and personal opinion. Each section is represented by a different layer of the sandwich, making it easy for students to identify and address each element of the book.

Using the Sandwich Book Report Printable Template is simple and straightforward. To get started, students can download and print the template from our website. Once they have the template in hand, they can begin filling in the required information for each section.

In the first layer of the sandwich, students will write the book’s title and author. This provides essential information for readers who may be interested in exploring the book further. In the subsequent layers, students can describe the book’s setting, introduce the main characters, and provide a brief summary of the plot.

In the final layer of the sandwich, students can share their personal opinion of the book. Did they enjoy reading it? What were their favorite parts? Would they recommend it to others? This section allows students to express their thoughts and feelings about the book, encouraging critical thinking and reflection.

There are several benefits to using the Sandwich Book Report Printable Template. Firstly, it provides a structured framework for students to organize their thoughts and ideas. By having designated sections for each element of the book, students can ensure that they cover all the necessary information in their report.

Secondly, the template encourages creativity. By using a visually appealing design, students are motivated to present their findings in an engaging and imaginative way. This not only makes the book report more enjoyable for the student but also captivates the attention of the reader.

Furthermore, the Sandwich Book Report Printable Template promotes critical thinking and analysis. Students are required to summarize the plot, identify key characters, and share their personal opinion. This helps develop their comprehension skills and ability to articulate their thoughts effectively.

While using the Sandwich Book Report Printable Template can greatly enhance the book reporting experience, here are a few additional tips to create an effective book report:

• Read the book thoroughly and take notes as you go along. This will help you remember key details and important events.
• Take your time to analyze the characters and their motivations. What drives them? How do they change throughout the story?
• Consider the book’s themes and underlying messages. What is the author trying to convey?
• Support your opinions with evidence from the book. Use quotes or specific examples to back up your claims.
• Proofread your report for grammar and spelling errors before submitting it. A well-written report demonstrates your attention to detail and professionalism.

To give you a better understanding of how the Sandwich Book Report Printable Template can be utilized, here are a few examples of completed book reports:

Example 1: Title: “The Secret Garden” by Frances Hodgson Burnett Author: Frances Hodgson Burnett Setting: A grand English manor and its lush gardens Main Characters: Mary Lennox, Colin Craven, Dickon Sowerby Plot Summary: A young girl named Mary discovers a hidden garden on her uncle’s estate. As she tends to the garden, she learns about friendship, healing, and the power of nature. Personal Opinion: I absolutely loved “The Secret Garden.” The descriptions of the garden were so vivid, and I felt like I was right there with Mary. The transformation of the characters throughout the story was heartwarming, and I would highly recommend this book to others.

Example 2: Title: “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee Author: Harper Lee Setting: A small town in Alabama during the Great Depression Main Characters: Scout Finch, Atticus Finch, Boo Radley Plot Summary: Scout, a young girl growing up in the South, witnesses the injustice and racism prevalent in society during the trial of a black man. Through the guidance of her father, Scout learns about empathy, compassion, and the importance of standing up for what is right. Personal Opinion: “To Kill a Mockingbird” is a powerful and thought-provoking book. It tackles important themes and sheds light on the harsh realities of racial inequality. The characters are well-developed, and the story is both heartbreaking and inspiring. I believe this book should be read by everyone.

The Sandwich Book Report Printable Template is an excellent resource for students to review and analyze books they have read. By providing a visually appealing and structured framework, this template encourages creativity, critical thinking, and effective communication of ideas. Whether you are a student or an educator, give the Sandwich Book Report Printable Template a try and make book reports more engaging and enjoyable!
