Independent Reading Book Reviews

Today's Goal:  Analyze book reviews to prepare to write a book review in class tomorrow by identifying the necessary elements required for the task.

Agenda:
  1. A Long Walk To Water - Chapter 15!
  2. Book Reviews

Book Reviews:

Today you will review a selection of book reviews to learn about their important elements.


Your job: Read the book review that is assigned to you and make a list of everything that you notice that the author DID in their book review. What makes it a good book review? What's significant about this piece of writing? How is it different from your thought question paragraphs?  

Reminders/Homework:
  • Leave at least one comment on a Two-Voice Poem on FlipGrid. Try to pick ones that have no comments yet. EVERY POEM should get at least one comment!
    • In your response video, explain:
      • One aspect of PVLEGS you think they did well and why.
      • Something you thought was interesting about their poem, it's theme, or their choices. 
  • Two Achieve Articles due by midnight Friday evening.
    • one article of your choice. If you aren't happy with your activity score, do another. I'll consider the higher score for grading. (no thought question)
    • One article of Ms. Black's choice. 
      • Title: "Trying to Beat Malaria" 
      • If you don't like your score, do the stretch activity.
      • You WILL need to do the Thought Question, but it's on Google Classroom, not on the Achieve website!

COME TO HOMEWORK CLUB:
Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays after school in Ms. Black's room until 3:10. Work on any work for any class, and/or get help from Ms. Black on English!
