Book Reviews

Next week, I will be talking to the students about how to do online book reviews, using the Destiny library catalog. Some students know how to do this from when I taught it to classes last year. This is such a great way for them to recommend great books and keep an open dialogue with their fellow students about literature. Students can write a book review about any book in our library by giving it a star rating (1-5), writing comments about the book and even adding a video to it (I video students reviewing the book and add it to their review). Not only does this teach students about using technology, but it strengthens their reading comprehension skills as well as their reading and writing skills.
