Mini-Lesson: Goodreads Reviews

 * Add books
 * Invite friends
 * Put a shelf on your blog
 * Write a review! Each review should contain a SHORT SYNOPSIS, a STORY GRAMMAR THAT YOU CAN DISCUSS (a character, the conflict, point of view, etc... Think like an English teacher for a couple sentences!), WHETHER OR NOT YOU WOULD RECOMMEND THE BOOK, and WHO YOU WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO.

Independent Practice
Create a shelf for your blog. Write a review.

Homework

 * Find or take a photo of a spot in your hometown that you feel is essential to understanding your town. These can be of nature or of a building/shop/house. You can either email me the photo or bring it in print or digital format. Something saved on your computer will be easiest, since these will end up on your blog.
 * Read and Journal!
