Talking Points
- What is a book review?
"A book review is like telling your friends about a story you really liked or didn't like. You share your thoughts and feelings about the book." - Why is it important to summarize the story?
"Summarizing helps us remember the main parts of the story so we can share it with others in a shorter way." - How can drawing a book cover be fun?
"Drawing a book cover lets us use our imagination to create a picture that represents the story. It's like making our own version of the book!" - Why do we rate the book?
"Rating the book helps us think about how much we enjoyed it. It's like giving it a score based on our feelings." - What should we include in our book review?
"In our review, we can talk about what we liked, what we didn't like, and if we think others would enjoy reading the book too."
