The 3rd grade class has had lots of fun learning about writing, specifically how to write a Book Review. We took about two weeks and marched right through all of the steps. The final products are ready for tomorrow's peer presentations. I'm looking forward to that! I think it will be the perfect activity after we come back from our ballpark field trip. Imagine trying to accomplish a serious math lesson instead!
The steps are easy: We chose a book, created a story map, answered specific questions for each of our 3 paragraphs, participated in a peer review, edited, and finally wrote our final draft complete with an illustration (or two). Whew! They gave their opinions, talked about what the character learned, and tried not to give away the ending.

I melt for student artwork and here are a couple of examples from our final book review:

| Leo the Lightning Bug - 3rd grade girl |

| Diary of a Wimpy Kid - 3rd grade boy |
 |
| I Love You Blue Kangaroo - 3rd grade girl Aren't they great? I'm so proud of them!!! We're planning on displaying them on our classroom bulletin board which is in the hallway outside of our room. What's up next? A Book Report of a non-fiction book! Let the good times roll! |
