=Welcome to Room 223's Book Review Wiki! =

This wikispace is designed as a forum for students of room 223 to view and post book reviews. Each page along the left will include book reviews about the variety of genres.
 * About Our Wiki: **

Students should use this wiki for three purposes... **Book Reviews:** After you read a book and add it to your [|Reading Log], write a review about the book on the appropriate genre page. Your book review should include the following information (in paragraph form): **Resources:** Before you write your first book review, be sure to visit these sites for ideas and suggestions.
 * How to Use This Wiki: **
 * 1) Posting book reviews.
 * 2) Reading classmates book reviews and commenting with the discussion feature.
 * 3) Reviewing our wiki for ideas of what book to read next!
 * Book Title
 * Author
 * Rating (1-5 stars)
 * A short summary, that captures the possible new reader and doesn't spoil the ending. (No more than 5 sentences)
 * What you liked about the book
 * Visit Scholastic's Share What You're Readingfor help and examples of book reviews.
 * Here are some more tips from Roman Phillbrick.

There is a discussion feature for each page, located along the top wiki menu bar. When reviewing a page, feel free to comment to your classmates via this discussion forum.
 * Discussion: **

**Appropriate Use:** I expect that all students will use our wiki space appropriately. When you log-in to edit a page, you should not edit anyone else's reviews, but simply add a horizontal line and write yours underneath. All writing should be in complete sentences as it would be if you were hand writing the review and submitting it. Ms. Goldkrantz will be grading you based on participation and appropriate use.
