Welcome! This year we will be spending a lot of time reading and one of the great things about reading is talking to others that have read the same books that you have. This blog will serve a number of purposes for our class. You can come here to search for a book to read as well as to read your classmates or my review of books we have enjoyed. It is also a place where you can have conversations about the books and characters you are involved with in your independent reading.
Each time you finish a book, you will be required to complete a book review, we will go over in class what I expect. If the book you have finished is already listed on the blog, then your job is to post your review under the original post. If the book you are reading is not listed you will need to e-mail me your review and I will post your review for others to read and discuss.
I am very much looking forward to our blog being a place to get excited about books, to talk about books, to agree and disagree about books and to learn from each other.
I will post the first few books that I have read over the summer and that are some of my favorites.
**Your first assignment for my class is to respond to this post. I would like to know what are the top three books you have read in the past year. Why are these books your favorites? Please include the title of each book as well as the author. (Please avoid listing 3 books from the same series.)
Happy Reading and Blogging,
Mrs. Clark
