Reading Activities

We have been doing a lot of reading in Room 2 and now we are going to share what we have learned with each other. If you have read a book, please write
1. The name of the book
2. The author of the book
3. A brief summary (five sentences or so)
4. Who you think would like this book (e.g. people who like reading about history etc.)
5. How many marks out of ten and why.

That way, we can all find out a bit more about the books others have read so we don't miss out on any good books!
