I have to write a book review on "The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe
You will craft your own review: what did you think of the book? What were the author’s goals and messages to the reader? Why do you feel the way you do about it? Make sure you don’t just give a list of opinions about the book, but provide evidence from the book explaining your opinions. Should someone else read this book? Why or why not? These are just some of the ways you can choose to approach your review. Reviews must be at least 2 pages long.
30 points:
____ Student demonstrates knowledge and understanding of independent reading book
(10 points).
____ Review is clear and well-written, providing evidence from the text to support
opinions (10 points).
____ Review is persuasive, convincing me to either read or not read the book (5 points).
____ There are few to no grammar and spelling mistakes in the review—it is clear that
the student has put time and thought into his/her project (5 points).
The review is at least 2 pages long. The tone may be informal at times, but not lazy. You are welcome to say “I found the most striking moment to be…,” but you should not say “the ending sucked.”
