Welcome, fellow readers!!! We are a community of learners, and learners are readers. This year, we will be using this blog to share about books we have read and to discover books we haven't read yet. We will have the opportunity to ask questions and express opinions on books our friends are reading. We will also get to respond to questions/opinions posted in the comments on books we have read.
Each quarter, you will read at least 1 book, approved by me, and share it with the class on this blog. May you review more than 1 book? OF COURSE!!!
Here's what you must include in the review:
1. Book title
2. Author
3. Genre
4. Type (graphic novel, chapter book, picture book, etc)
5. Summary (at least 5 sentences)
6. Did you enjoy the book? Why or why not? (at least 5 sentences)
7 OPTIONAL: you may include a photo of the cover of the book
In addition to posting a book review, you must also comment on at least 5 reviews per quarter.
The purpose of this is to start a dialogue amongst readers.
Here are some ideas for your comments...
*I also liked this book! This was my favorite part/character (and elaborate)
*I was not a fan of this book. I didn't like it because... (be respectful and thoughtful and kind in your response)
*I haven't read this book yet, but it sounds interesting because...
*You may ask questions about the book
These are only suggestions. Your comments are not limited to these suggestions.
There is also a good possibility (hint hint) that we will conduct book clubs on this blog. Stay tuned!!!
Please let me know if you have any questions (you may comment below).
Happy reading!!!!!
Mrs. Bordovsky
