Activity 6 – Write a Book Review

Okay my brilliant bloggers. With book week just around the corner, I thought it timely to ask you to review one of your favourite books or one you have read recently. Remember to hook the reader with your opening sentence. You should include:

 

  • The book’s title and author

  • A brief summary of the plot that doesn’t give away too much. Discuss characters, setting, genre.

  • Your personal response to the book. Why did you enjoy it? What part? Give examples.

    Hi Susanne,
    I have three fifth grade classes participating in the Student Blogging Challenge this October. My students would love the opportunity to connect with another class during the challenge. Would you like to visit one of my class blogs and have your students read and comment? I would ask my students to do the same. Here is a link to the class I would like to pair your class with: https://kidblog.org/class/5-greene Thank you.

      Hi Karen,
      We would love to connect with your class in the blogging challenge. I am the teacher librarian at my school and began blogging with 10 students from year 4 to year 6 in May this year. I have recently begun with a 2nd group of 9 bloggers from year 3 and 4. I see these students for an hour a week. We have just begun a 2 week holiday break and resume school on the 10th of October. We look forward to connecting with your students.
      Kind regard,
      Susanne Riding

      Hi Karen,
      I just checked your class blog and noticed you haven’t added our blog to those you are following. Are you still keen to connect with my group of bloggers? I am about to create my blog roll and would like to add your class.
      Kind regards,
      Susanne

    I apologize! I did not get notification of your comment reply from September 23! We would love to connect with your class! We are using Kidblog rather than Edublogs, and I am not sure how to add your class if it is not kidblog. I will work on that today. Maybe I can add it to a link in my blog. This is my second year participating in the Student Blogging Challenge. I have 22 fifth grade students. I also see them only once a week. I look forward to connecting with you! Thank you.
