Search . . If you are reading a book in class with your BE, GED or ESOL students, they may be interested in writing a book review online. The Web site features reviews following the description of each book. The first few reviews are usually professionally written and require a high level of reading comprehension, but the later reviews are written by casual readers. The online reviewing process is fairly simple.
Students can preview and correct their writing before submitting it to the Web site.
Plan for a few separate hours before and after the actual online lesson to show students examples of book reviews. Bring to class magazine and newspaper reviews. You can ask students to read a few reviews and choose one with which they either strongly agree or disagree. Students should discuss in class the reviews they chose. Otherwise, it can be done with print materials.
