Book tastings are one of my favorite ways to help students explore new literature. After a book tasting, students check out a library book to read during bell work every day.
However, I also want to give students a chance to talk about their books so they can hear from their classmates and discover even more wonderful literature.
This book review activity was born from a desire to provide students with a framework for discussing their first impression of a book. After a book tasting and a day of silent reading, students complete their first impressions book review and share it with the class.
Then, students use the first impressions card as their book mark for the duration of the reading. At the end of the reading, they update their rating of the book, and we hang it on the wall as a way to track how many books we have read as a class.
Updated to include a fillable .pdf and Google Slides. Since this resource includes a Google tool, TPT will create a folder in your Google Drive where you will find all parts of this resource!
