I don't know what book to read. I need it to be at least 150 pages or more. Sandwich Book Report. SOURCE: 123Homeschool4Me. You’ll notice a lot of our creative book report ideas revolve around food. In this project, each layer of this book report sandwich covers a different element of the book—characters, setting, conflict, etc. A fun adaptation to this project is the book report cheeseburger. These book report forms are suitable for both beginning readers and older children. The first is simply a form they can fill out that becomes their book report. The second set is an outline primer plus a page for them to handwrite their report (if you don’t already make them use a word processor!). Your final Book Report text should be at least 5 paragraphs. Along with detail paragraphs covering characters, settings and plot, your introductory paragraph should include the theme and your concluding paragraph should include your opinion of the book and your persuasive argument for or against the book's study in 4th grade.
