How this works.
Basically, from time to time I will ask my students to write a summary of a book they read, explaining why they would recommend it to a fellow student. When the student completes their summary and recommendation, I will publish it on the this blog, along with an image of the book's cover, author, illustrator, etc. . There you have it! Let's get this show on the road!
Recommendations...
Example:
- Book title: The Giving Tree
- Author: Shel Silverstein
- Illustrator: Shel Silverstein
- Recommended by: Ms. Kirkland
- Summary: This book is about a complicated relationship between a young boy and tree. When the boy is young the tree is very important to him. He sits under its shade, climbs its limbs, and the tree and boy are happy. Sadly as the boy grows older he needs the tree for selfish reasons, and the tree is always there for him no matter what the reason. I recommend this book because it really makes you think about the responsibilities of being a good friend and person and not taking advantage of people and nature.
