This worksheet is a "Novel Critique" designed in a "cloze" format for students to evaluate and write about a novel/book they have read. It invites student reflection and opinion about stories they have read. Students talk about their mood/feelings while reading, evaluate the author's writing, dscribe what surprised them, and explain how it changed their views/life.
