Lesson+1

As you know, for this project you need to make a review for the novel "The Boy In Striped Pyjamas". It is important that you understand what a book review actually is. The brainstorm we just completed will be available on the myclasses page, but if you would like some extra information on what a review is, and how to write one, go to the resources page. There you will find a video clip explaining the ins and outs of book reviews.

Book reviews are all written for different audiences, and thus written in different ways. It is important to know who you are writing your book review for, as it will help you establish what you want to say, and how you are going to say it. To help you understand this, we are going on a **scavenger hunt!**

Pack your bags and take your magnifying glasses, because you're going to have to look real hard! This scavenger hunt will take you trawling through the internet for **book reviews.** You will need to compare and contrast the reviews using a webspiration template. Remember to save each document as you complete it. Let's begin!


 * __Harry Potter__**

Review 1 [|Review 2]


 * __The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe__**

[|Review 1] Review 2


 * __Twilight__**

[|Review 1] [|Review 2]

Well done! Remeber to save all your documents and submit them into your e-porfolios.


 * Blog Post**: Which book review did you like the best and why? Which review would most want to make you read the book? Why do some book reviews appeal to your more than others? Critically reflect on what makes a good book review.
