Tired of the same old book reports? Help your students show who creative they can be! This packet gives students 33 options for book reports. There is an explanation for each idea and a form for students to get book report approval!

This form is to used for absent students. The task will require a student that is the "P.A.L." as a class job. The student will simply sign the note on the outside of the envelop or folder and then place all daily work into the envelop along with the agenda for the day. If there are multiple days absent, I would just continue to use the same envelope. This give the students a contact point other than the teacher.
