Book Review Format

The Long Version:
In the first sentence, let us know the name of the book that you read and the author of the book.  For example, “I just finished reading The Ranger’s Apprentice by John Flanagan.”

Next, give us brief summary of the book without giving away too much of the story!

Then, tell us what you thought of the book, this is your reaction to the story – did you like it, love it, want some more of it?  Why do you feel this way – give a couple of short examples.

Be sure to mention a favorite and/or least favorite part of the story. 

Finally, is this a book that you would recommend to someone?  Who do you think would enjoy this story?

Website Reviews
Have fun exploring the Language Arts websites that you’ll find on the tabs at the top of the page.  There are very different types of games and activities on these pages and you should try as many as you can, then post a review for the other students.  You should post at least once a week, so that you have a chance to visit as many websites as you can.
