Through your participation on this wiki you are developing your skills as readers and writers.

Pa Standards:

Fifth grade students are expected to read across many genres. By doing so they develop their vocabulary, improve comprehension, and build schema for other books and areas of study.

You can use this wiki in three ways: 1. To find new books to read that have been recommended by other 5th graders (browse the different genres and read book reviews) 2. To create a book review that summarizes what you read and provides a critical analysis. (Create a Glogster, Voicethread, Animoto, Prezi and much more! See the resource page for more details.) 3. To read a book that was recommended and provide additional analysis stating your opinion. Voila! A book discussion has been born! (Comment on student work in the discussion forum. Respond to their analysis.)

Ground Rules: 1. Appropriate responses only 2. Positive commentary - give "snaps" to others! 3. Teachers will be checking posts and approving 4. No deleting responses of others
