Each nine weeks, students can complete a Best Books Blurb entry and e-mail it to Mr. Fromme (dfromme@hoover.k12.al.us). The purpose of the assignment is to recommend interesting books to other students who are looking for something they might like to read. The blurb students submit should be the student's own words (i.e., not copied and pasted from a published review of the book) and should be fashioned after the type of promotional blurb you might see for the book (either on a website or the inside of the book's dust jacket.) Students who satisfactorily complete (at Coach Fromme's discretion) a BBB entry will receive a score of 50 points.
