About This Product

Mini-Reviews Book Report is an 11-page resource that provides a detailed lesson plan to teach students in 6th to 9th grades how to write and publish mini-reviews of books they have read. It can easily be modified for 10th-12th graders as well.

This engaging lesson offers students a creative way to express their opinions about the novel or nonfiction book they read and then publish their reviews online. They will write a summary or synopsis of the plot of the book, introduce the main characters, setting, and theme, and write an assessment or evaluation of the book in which they express their opinion about the book and back it up with evidence.

Your students will enjoy this book report because, instead of writing a formal book report, they will publish their mini-reviews online and then can see their reviews on different websites. Plus students get exposed to many new books they might not have known about by reading the reviews written by their classmates and others. This assignment is great for all students in grades 6-9: regular ed, ESL, RSP, and GATE.

The lesson includes the following:

  • objectives and learning targets that are aligned with the Common Core Standards

  • detailed lesson plan

  • suggestions of places for students to post their reviews

  • student sample of a mini-review

  • a scaffolded template for writing the review

  • rubric
