Book Review

Tuesday, May 22, 2018 9 comments
Student bloggers will write a book review.  You have two choices - you may make a video or you may write a review.  Either is fine! You may also do it independently, or you may work with your book club group (be sure to include all group members' names).  Your review needs to include:

-Title of the book
-Author
-Characters & setting
-Main conflict of the story (don't tell how it is resolved, though!)
-Theme of the story
-Favorite part of the book
-Least favorite part of the book
-Would you recommend this book to others

Posts are due by Thursday.

Student bloggers will introduce themselves in the comment section of this post. Your post should include:

  • Your name
  • Favorite subject and why
  • Favorite book
  • Favorite genre
  • Hobbies/interests outside of school
  • Goal for blogging

 Here is an example:

I'm Jessica, a teacher at River Valley.  My favorite subject is Language Arts because I love reading and writing. My favorite book ever is a tie between The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963 by Christopher Paul Curtis or Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie by Jordan Sonnenblick.  My favorite genres tend to be historical or realistic fiction.  Outside of school, I love to read, bake, and craft.  My goal for blogging is to create a space where students can publish their work for an authentic audience.  Happy blogging!

Students, please be sure to follow our blogging guidelines:
  • Students will only be identified by their first name.
  • Posts will not include personal information about students such as addresses or family information.
  • All comments submitted must be approved by Ms. Carlisle or Ms. Moman before they are included on the blog.
