Book Club Challenge: The Fort that Jack Built

After reading The Fort That Jack Built, use items from the list below to create a fort that could be used for reading.  Make sure to ask Mrs. Williams to photograph the completed fort to post online. You may also choose to build a fort or other inspired by a book at home.  Post a picture online with the #booksinspirefh and/or email to deidre.williams@lrsd.org.

Each group may use the following items in the school library:

1 large rug

2 large bean bags

1 round bean bag

4 green stools

a table positioned in a designated location

5 chairs

4 clothes pins (ask Mrs. Williams)

4 table cloths (ask Mrs. Williams)

20 encyclopedias (look behind the circulation desk)

Note: Other items are negotiable.

Before you begin building, sketch out your idea for your group to review.  Your group should vote on the idea they believe is the best.  The winning designer gets to lead the group
asking
each team member to take turns placing the items to complete the fort.

Sample Instructions:
