A Survival Book Review


Well done for your first few weeks year 7 TOTALers. Your homelearning challenge is that you are to:

a) Select a book or article on the topic of SURVIVAL.

b) Get your parent / carer to check with you that it is at the right level for you (not too hard, not too easy).

c) Read the book / article.

d) Prepare a presentation to be given to the class in the last week of this half term on:

  • WHO (wrote it, who are the main characters?)
  • WHEN (was it written, when is it set?)
  • WHAT (Happens)
  • WHY (would you recommend it or not recommend it, why did you choose it?)
  • WHERE (was it set, where did you get the book)

The Learning Resource Centre has a selection of books, there are links on the right and the Cornwall Libraries Search engine all to help you.

If you can't see Mr Beech's example in the video above follow this link to youtube where you can also watch it.
