Incoming 7th Grade Magnet Hybrid Book Review Project
Assignment: Read a book of your choice and write an engaging book review.
A book review should be interesting to read and should reflect your reaction to the book. Be sure to set the stage for the reader. Give just enough background so they understand when and where the story takes place, and set up the main characters with a little description about who they are. Never give away the ending! It’s always good to leave your readers curious!
Please include each of the following components in your book review:
Exciting opening statement: (For example, “Eli knew his life had changed the minute the door clanged shut and locked his family underground.”)
Include important book information: (Be sure to include the title, the author and any other details you think are important.)
Write a little bit about the plot: (Give a little background and explain the topic and central idea of the book.)
Tell what you liked (or didn’t like) about the book: (Could you relate to someone or something? Or to the conflict? Did you think the descriptions were well-written or the organization of the book easy to follow?)
Your recommendation: (Tell who you think would enjoy this book. You can compare it to similar books you have read if it reminds you of another one. For example: “Anyone who enjoys reading real life success stories will also enjoy this book! OR Anyone who likes learning about ..... should check this out!)
