Section outline


  • This week is our book review assessment week. You will have 3 hours in the next 3 English classes to complete this task on the book you chose written by a NZ writer.

    We have practised writing many short reviews on short stories, one play and some short films over the last 4 weeks. Look back at the slide shows from the last 4 weeks to help you plan a good quality book review.

    A suggested structure:

    Introduction

    Paragraph 1 on...

    Paragraph 2 on...

    Paragraph 3 on...

    Paragraph 4 on...

    Conclusion

    Please use a blue pen. Write neatly so that it can be easily marked. All book reviews will be completed independently in class time. You cannot work with another student as this is an assessment task.

    If you finish early you may have time to make a title page.

    I will highlight the rubric to mark your review.

    There will be 3 small prizes for the 3 students who construct a great book review but these cannot be given out until I have seen all the book reviews.
