Book Mobile

We have a list of classic books that the kids choose from to read then they do a "book report" on it. June Bug chose The Trumpet of the Swan by E.B. White. He made a book mobile for his report. At the very top he put his name. In the center of the hanger he put the title and author.
On the left he put the word Plot. Under the word plot he put what happened in the beginning of the book. He wrote; Louis is born without a voice. So his father steals a trumpet for him so Louis can sound like a normal swan. Hanging from that cloud he drew a picture of the middle of the book and on the back wrote; Louis plays in different places and earns lots of money-with the help of Sam-to pay the debt for the stolen trumpet. Hanging from that cloud he drew a picture of the end of the book and wrote; Louis gives his father the money to repay the music store and also wins the love of another swan.
Hanging from the middle of the hanger is a cloud that says Setting. On the back he wrote; this book takes place in Montana, Canada and Boston.
Hanging from right of the hanger he wrote the word Character on a cloud. Hanging from the left side of that cloud there is a picture of a swan and it's name, Louis, on the back. Hanging from the right side of that same cloud is a picture of a boy and his name, Sam, on the back. Hanging from both of them is an item that goes with each one. For the swan, a trumpet and for Sam, a notebook and pencil.
