Book+Review+Task

= Book Review Task =

Students were required to search the internet to find a short book review for //The Dons// by Archimede Fusillo. An interesting discussion happened here as we decided, as a class, which search terms would produce the best results. We compared how many hits, and the sorts of results we got, when we put "The Dons" in. We added "Fusillo" as the author of the book, then "book review" as we narrowed down our search to find what we wanted quickly and easily.

When they had located a review, which included a little about the plot and characters. They used the review to create a Wordle. Using a Snipping Tool they easily created a .jpg of their Wordle, which we have uploaded to this wiki.

It would be great if students could write their own review, and use that. Searching for one did create a very important lesson for them, as we debated which search terms to use and discussed the number of results each search returned.

Have a look at our Wordles at the following pages:
