WinK Wiki Resource: Model Book Reviews






This post announces a new WinK Wiki resource listing, describing, and linking to student book reviews that you can use a guides and models for your own blog posts:
This is also a reminder that the on-going (semester-long) book review writing assignment calls for you to write one or more book reviews each week (12 or more during spring semester). There is a growing range of easy-to-read genres and titles in the English Reading Garden at the KGU library.

As I noted in Orange Books and Book Reviews (2008.04.15), book reviews must neither be copied nor machine-translated, and, as I suggested in class today, book reviews generally should be as long as or longer than your longest five-minute typing speed trials. Moreover, your book reviews should be more accurate than typing speed trials, thanks to Blogger and Word spelling and grammer checks, and well-organized, too!

Please don't forget to label your book reviews with at least two labels: books and reviews. You can add genre labels (such as romance or SciFi), if you wish.

    Hey, mii and airi!

    It is a pleasure to hear from you. I'm glad to know that you are going to dedicate yourselves blogging, reading, and writing. I have no doubt that you'll improve both your language and computer skills, and develop your vocabularies as well.

    Airi, your avatar is a striking likeness. Would you please let us know what you used to create it?

    Cheers, Paul
