The Video Production Leaders will be creating a newscast
called, “Murray Monthly News.” One of
the segments will be, “Bulldog Book Reviews.”
We would like Edgar Murray students to submit book reviews for this segment
of our newscast.
How do I write a book
review?
First, create an outline of your book review or use the template below to guide your writing. Remember to use specific quotes from
the book to get your point across. The first half of your book review should
summarize the book, while the second half should evaluate the book.
Submit your review to the "comments" section on this blog. Just click on the "comments" link below, then write your review. Your review will be sent to the 5th grade Challenge class for approval. Reviews must be submitted as student
narratives with personal perspectives. Do not
submit the Book Review Template as your final submission on the blog. The template is just a guide to help you write your review.

ReplyDeleteOur book review for this month is Wonder by RJ Palacio.
ReplyDeleteWonder is a realistic fiction book about a boy named, August Pullmann. He has a facial deformity, therefore never attended school before 5th grade. When he enters school, he faces some obstacles. He was bullied and had a hard time making friends.
We can relate to this book because we've all witnessed discrimination. It makes us sad when people are treated differently because of the way they look.
We don’t want to give too much away, because we want you to enjoy this book for yourself. We recommend this book because it’s heart-warming, and you’ll learn a lesson about kindness.
"The Unwanteds" by Lisa McMann.

This story is about Alex and his friends. They live in Quill, a place where creativity is not allowed. Every year there is something called the Purge going on in Quill. The Purge is where all the 13 year olds get separated into 3 groups, Wanted, Neccessary, and Unwanted. Wanteds go to the University. Neccessarys get a job, and the Unwanteds go to the Death Farm to die. Alex and his friends are Unwanteds but when they get to the Death Farm the Eliminators don't kill them. Instead they take him and his friends to a magical world called Artime.
I thought this was a very exciting and interesting story. It was mysterious and every chapter ended with a cliff hanger making me want to read more. I think any kid with a good imagination would like this book.
Great review, Amber!
