How to Write a Kidblog
In order for your blog to be graded, you must have completed the entire book and passed your AR quiz with a 70% or higher. The quiz must also have been taken during the current trimester. The book must be in your ZPD range.
The following items are required for your Kidblog
-10-12 sentence summary of your book. Make sure to mention the main characters and the major conflict (problem) but don't give away the ending!
- author of the book
- ZPD level of the book
- Genre (historical fiction, fantasy, biography, realistic fiction, mystery, informational).
- 3-5 sentence review of the book. Why did you like or dislike the book? Give specific details. What parts did you enjoy or not enjoy? Would you change anything?
