Homework due Friday, 24th November

Book Review


You need to give the title and author of your chosen book.

What rating would you give the book? (How many stars out of 5?)
               This helps other readers to quickly see how good the book is and if they should choose it to 
               read as well.

Describe the characters and their personalities
               Who are the main characters? What type of character are they? (e.g., nice, kind, evil, mean)


Describe the setting 
               Where is the story set? Has the author used any interesting vocabulary to describe the
               setting?

What happened in the story?  
              Can you recall the main events in order - what were the highlights of the story?
              Remember not to give away the ending though!

My favourite part
              Which part of the story did you enjoy? Don't forget to say why!

The book would be better if
              Could you add an extra character? Would you change the ending? How could you change a
               particular chapter or section of the story?  How would your changes make the story better?
