Book Review

I had a student come into my office and he saw my book that I was reading for my book review. He asked me if he could read the book when I finished with it. I printed a copy of my book review off  and gave it to him to read before he read the book. He read the book review and the book. The book was called The Babe and Me by Dan Gutman. Gutman has written about 10 other books that are just like this one. The books are about a young boy who can hold old baseball cards and it takes him back in time and he ends up associating with the player in some way. Our school has a book fair coming up next month and each student is required to read a book and in some way present it. The student who read my book review has decided that he is going to read the book Shoeless Joe Jackson and Me for his project. He was very interested in the book review that i gave him and he has asked me if i would help him do a book review. He should be finished with the book soon so this week he and I are going to create a powerpoint book review just like the one we did. I didn't realize how good of a project this was and that we can use our book reviews to encourage students to read.
