Extra Credit - Book Review

For up to 40 extra credit points (equivalent to 40 points on a standardized test) you can read a book and write a review of it.

What to do:

• Choose a book appropriate for your reading level. Bring it in to school and I will approve it.
  
• After completing the book, write a two page (double spaced, font 12) book review

How to write a book review:

Writing a book review is actually similar to writing a restaurant review. It's not a 'book report' where you just say who is who and what happens in the book. You must actually evaluate the book and form an opinion on how good it was, just like with the restaurant. Here are some helpful links to get you started
