Welcome to the Har-Bur Nutmeg Blog! Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Grundt are looking forward to reading your reviews this summer. You can see examples of book reviews and comments written by students on our 5th grade book review blog, and reviews from 6th graders from the January 2014 post of this blog. You may use the book review template (as well as other ideas mentioned) as a guideline for what to include, but don’t forget to add your own personality and style to your writing!
How to post a comment:
- At the bottom of this post, click “Comments”
- Type your review or comment in the comments box, or copy and paste from another program.
- Proof read for correct punctuation, capitalization, grammar, and spelling. Remember, other students and teachers will be able to view your comments.
- Select the dropdown menu for “Comment As.” You may either select “Anonymous” or “Name/URL” and enter your first name only. Leave the URL box empty.
- Click “Publish.” Your comment will not appear on the blog until Mrs. Grant or Mrs. Grundt have approved it.
*Please note that if you include your last name in your post, we will not be able to publish your comment.
Suggestions for commenting on other’s reviews:
- keep it positive
- compliment the writer in a specific way, “I really liked how you…”
- ask a question about their review or the book
- share your opinion if you read the same book
To browse the Nutmeg titles and read summaries, mouse over the books on our Shelfari shelves to the left. These are not ebooks, rather just a way to display this year's selections.
