The past two weeks in the blog homework, we've been working on writing reviews. This week will continue that work, but the subject won't be a book, it will be this class.
Assignment: For homework this week, I'd like you to write a review of your experience in ELA 7. Please be honest, but don't be mean. I will consider your feedback when I work on planning for next year. So the more you can support your ideas with specific details and thoughtful reasoning, the more likely it is that I will use your ideas when planning next year.

The Outsiders Review
For this week's homework, you will write a review of The Outsiders.
A book review is a genre that involves some summary and some critique. You may discuss aspects of the plot, the characters, the conflict, the setting that were positive and contributed to the book, or aspects of those elements that were negative and detracted from the book.
I will expect your book review to be detailed, thoughtful, and specific. I will expect that you use formal English and elevated vocabulary.
Some examples of book reviews (good and not so good) can be found here:
