Genre Notes
In your "Independent Reading Notebook" where you track your books, you will find a tab at the bottom that says "Genre Notes."
Today we will discuss and take notes on the last three genres/categories on our chart:
- Autobiography/Biography/Memoir
- Nonfiction
- Poetry
You have no ELA Journal Questions for these today.
Book Reviews!
You will find your own personal copy of this document in Google Classroom.
It has:
- a space for you to write your book review
- a list of ideas we made last class, plus some others that other classes thought of
- links to book reviews
You get to let out all your feelings and opinions right now. Just keep in mind that you must write about a book you have on your independent reading list that you have finished in the past few weeks.
You must also be detailed. Do not leave out ideas and say "you'll just have to read it to find out." You can talk about what you thought about very specific details and share those specific details. This is fine. Maybe just avoid major plot spoilers, but if you put a spoiler warning at the top, then it's fair game.
You may not write your book review about Hatchet.
