Welcome to your
first web activity. Have you written your paragraph about your
favorite author? Good. What is the author's best book? Is that
book your favorite book? What did you enjoy most about the author's
book? When we asked you to tell us why you liked the book, we
we really were asking you to write a short "book review."
When we suggested posting the review on our message board, we
are actually asking you to "publish" your review for
others to read! You will now become a published author just
like those writers you admire. If your "favorite book"
is different from your favorite author's best book, feel free
to fill out this form twice. You can also find this form in
the library. Tell us about all your favorite books. Become a
Scribes Online reviewer.
We are actually
going to ask you to list your favorite author and book and then
write your review twice. The first time, the information goes
into our database. This will allow us to collect all these reviews
and post them in the library where you can "search"
and find all reviews written about a specific book.
The second time
that you write the review, you will post it on the message board
where you and the other students can the discuss the author
or the book. When someone writes and posts a comment about your
review, you can write back and comment on the message board.
This is how you will begin to meet other readers and writers
who like the same books you do.
First, fill out
the form below about the book and author. Check your spelling
before you "submit" the information. Click submit
and your words are in our database. Then click on the "message
board" icon at the bottom of the page and follow the instructions
for posting your message. When you are finished sending your
message, you can return directly to the student home page from
the message board.
