1:1 文学評論家を目指す人のための書評の書き方（11～13 歳）

As students begin reading books at a young age, teaching them how to communicate their thoughts and ideas about the books they read is an important part of reading comprehension and expression. This class will help students put their thoughts on a text into written form. Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to schedule a private lesson. 

This class is suited for students ages 11 - 13 years old.

In this class, students will:

• Practice brainstorming to create a book review and book recommendation
• Understand the difference between a book report and a book review
• Learn how to create an organized list of ideas & elements that make a compelling book review
• Share and discuss their thoughts and opinions about books they have read
• Engage critically with a text by analyzing and evaluating it

Students will identify the differences and similarities between a book report and a book review. We will also discuss the various elements they can include in their reviews to make it captivating for other readers. They will compare examples of written reviews, while also discussing what makes a strong review and things that can make a review weak in comparison. We will be thinking aloud as we brainstorm to create an organized list of ideas. This will include stating the plot, characters, setting, and opinion of the story. Together, we will make connections to other books, and share what they liked and why they enjoyed their selected titles. 

I encourage students to take notes in order to write their own reviews after class. Optional: They can then upload (or type) their final draft in the classroom to obtain feedback. Students can also message me directly through Outschool communication to obtain feedback on their final review.

Supply List:
• Paper and pencils to take notes
• It is helpful to choose a book to discuss in class. Be sure to have it available for our lesson, so that you can refer to it in our discussion.
