General Directions:
Activity Instruction
Hook - a line that catches your audience’s attention and piques their
interest so they’ll continue reading your review instead of scrolling past it.
Essential Book Information - Share any general information about the
book that is important for readers to know. The title and author are an
obvious choice. The year the book was published may be relevant if it
came out 10+ years ago. Be sure to mention if the book is part of a series
and whether it’s necessary to have read other books in the series before this
book.
Basic Plot Summary - Share a high-level synopsis of the plot so your
audience gets the gist of what the story is about. Best practice is to leave
out the climax or ending of the book and avoid giving away spoilers so you
don’t ruin the story for your audience.
Praise and Critique - Simply saying a book was “good” or “bad”, or that
you liked it or didn’t, isn’t helpful. Let your audience know why you think
it’s a great read, or why you found it disappointing. Sharing these details
will help your audience form their own opinion of whether they would
enjoy reading the book.
Recommendation - After sharing your praise and critique, let your
audience know your conclusions. Who do you think would enjoy this
book?
Ratings- Most review sites provide a star rating system. Let your audience
know your rationale for choosing a particular rating. Be sure to explain this
as well.
