Student Book Reviews
From School Computing
- Wiki being used for grades 4-8 for book descriptions/reviews: For example, here is the page on “A Bear Named Trouble” http://nutmeg2008.wikispaces.com/Bear Project information is at: http://www.sblceastconn.org/nutmeginformation2008.htm It’s divided into two sections, one for grades 4-6, and another for grades 7-8. http://www.sblceastconn.org/nutmegdiscussion2008.htm
- Using VoiceThread to have students post audio reviews of books: http://voicethread.com/#q+book+review They include either scanned or drawn images with the students voices describing the book and images. For some of the examples you have to click through the pages (some images don’t have any audio). For example, here is the Narnia one: http://voicethread.com/#q+book+review.b11961.i79179 (click past the Aslan picture to hear character descriptions).
