Today we talked about our final thoughts on "Dear Martin" where students shared their responses on what they thought the author's purpose was for writing the book. Additionally, we looked at some reviews for the book that we found online, and we shared whether we thought some of the poor reviews were fair.
FOR NEXT WEEK:
Students are to write a review of "Dear Martin" (click here for a link to suggestions for writing a review) Students must send me their review digitally. THIS IS DUE BEFORE SATURDAY MORNING. I would suggest having each review sent to me by Friday night. I will look over reviews and see if there is anything students should edit (grammar, format, etc.) and then I will ask students to post their review in some kind of online community (Amazon, Goodreads, etc.). I want them to start contributing to conversations surrounding contemporary titles we read.
Email me with questions.
