__**STUDENT BOOK REVIEWS**__ At the end of Literature Circles I have students write a book review about the novel they read. I thought this would be relatively easy and take only a few class periods but students had a hard time. Despite looking at examples of book reviews (4) and developing "What are the Components of an Effective Book Review" criteria as a class many rough drafts were plot summaries. The sample reviews are in the following document This is a book review template created by Lisa Huff that I have adapted for my purposes

Students then read their book reviews on our Book Review Voicethread. You can find instructions for that lesson on the Kamloops 2011 page.
