Looking at awesome book reviews

• Take some time to READ this book review about a book called The Alchemist.
• In your English Journal, write about what makes this book review a good book review. What are the qualities that make it strong? What is the difference between a book review and a summary?
• If you would like another example to learn from, check out this one about City of Thieves.

Write your own book review: 

1. Write your book review in your English Journal. DO NOT move on to step two before finishing step one.
2. Log in to your Goodreads account.
3. Find your book and click "edit review." (If you can't find it, ask someone at your table. If you're still stuck ask one of the adults.)
4. Rate your book. Copy and paste your book review into the box for the review. 
5. Make sure you hit "Save."
