Welcome to your third quarter outside reading book project! Your first attempt at Shelfari was wonderful. We are going to change things a little bit and try to grow in our responses to the literature.
1. I would like you to write a book review where you explain what is going on in the book. Notice, this is not a plot summary, but an overview of what a reader should expect as she reads the book. Please look on shelfari.com for a review of your book. It should help you understand what you should include in your project.
2. Along with the review I would like you to include a quote that exemplifies the character, a theme, or the understanding of the book.
3. Finally, I want you to end this review with a recommendation. Who would like this book? What other books can you relate your book to?

After you are done with this recommendation I would like you to comment on your classmates’ reviews. This requires you to make a thoughtful comment and to ask a question. You are required to respond to at least three people. Please look at the project wrap-up for the last quarter to see some truly exemplary examples.
