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.

• Our Sandwich Book Reports
• Read the Layers of Our Book Reports
• Snack on a Book Today!
• We are Hungry to Read Books!
• Take a Bite Into Literature!
• Our Book Reports are Yummy!
• Bite Into a Book Today!
• We Have an Appetite For Reading!

I hope that these EXTRA GOODIES that are included in this set of teaching resources help save you time in decorating your sandwich bulletin board display.

You will be able to design a colorful and dynamic classroom bulletin board display using your students' finished sandwich projects.

These sandwich graphic organizers are a unique and fun way to get your students excited about completing a writing assignment about the books that they have read.

The writing responses that are required of your students will make them think and write about the main elements of their books in a challenging and engaging way. In addition, this book report set includes sandwich themed accent pieces to assist you in decorating your bulletin board display.

I hope that your students will eagerly gobble up this sandwich book report activity with enthusiasm!

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?

Sandwich Book Report Printable Template: A Fun And Engaging Way To Review Books

Welcome to our blog! In this article, we will be discussing the Sandwich Book Report Printable Template, a fantastic tool for students to review and analyze books they have read. This template is designed to make book reports more fun and engaging, allowing students to showcase their creativity while also demonstrating their understanding of the book’s key elements.

Table of Contents

What is the sandwich book report printable template, how to use the template, benefits of using the sandwich book report printable template, tips for creating an effective book report, examples of completed sandwich book reports.

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!
