We will meet at Yorba Linda Public Library to continue the Reading Merit Badge. The following requirements will need to be done outside of our meeting time:
3. Read four different types of books, such as poetry, fiction, nonfiction, or biographies. Do one of the following for each book you have read:
This requirement can be an assignment that was completed at school within the past year.
- (a) Write a review of the book. Include what you liked and/or didn't like about the book. Include whether you would recommend this book, and if so, who might enjoy reading it.
- (b) Watch a movie based on the book. What was the same between the book and movie? What was different? Which did you enjoy more? Discuss this with your counselor.
- (c) Give a "book talk" to your class, troop, or patrol.
4. Read a nonfiction book or magazine that teaches you how to do something like cooking, wood-building projects, video game design, science experiments, knot-tying, etc. With your counselor's and parent or guardian's permission, complete a project from the book. Share your experience with your counselor. Reading a merit badge pamphlet will not count toward completing this requirement.
