While reading I felt sad more than anything because of the way the main character’s mother treats and raises Carrie." For the full review, click here. The book Carrie is listed under the fictional horror genre but in my opinion, the book itself is not all that scary. When Carrie, a high school girl with telekinetic powers, is pushed over the edge by her peers, she'll be sure they regret their actions and get what's coming to them.
"Carrie by Stephen King: I will now and forever be obsessed with his work It took a lot of hard work on their parts & some individual conferencing on a rough draft for them to get this far, but they got there! (I'm attaching a sample of one that just amazed me & that I got permission to share - but honestly they were all very good and I would say of publishable quality.) I'd also love to share with you the reviews they wrote because I was so impressed with them. Today I'm having them print their final reviews & am going to display them alongside the books they reviewed. This was so they could track their reactions and have raw material for the review.
Then they had to read a book of their choice from the library and take at least 20 notes on their reactions - in whatever format they wanted - sticky notes, Google Doc, etc. They used Goodreads and Amazon reviews for this. My students just finished a long-term project on book reviews and they did such an excellent job that I think these could be posted to Goodreads (not requiring them to do this although one student was so proud of his he said he might).įirst they had to do the "Book Review Research" assignment which was to read 5 reviews of a book they were familiar with so they could get a sense of how reviews are written.
