Ms. Kreitinger's Language Arts Book Reviews!
Thank you for visiting my wiki! This is a place for teachers, students, and parents to talk about the books they are reading and find other books they may want to read. Please keep in mind this is a school site which means you need to keep the comments appropriate and constructive.
Language Arts requirements:
Every quarter, you must complete the following:
- Post two threads about books that you have read that are not already posted. Your thread should include the book title, author, a short summary of the book (without giving the ending away), and a rating of 1-5 (1 being ok and 5 being a must read).
- Reply to two threads already posted. You may comment or question but be sure that your posts are meaningful and relavent. For example, if you simiply post "This book sounds cool!", it will not count for your required posts.
- You are the owner of the threads you start. Be sure to maintain your thread by checking and replying regularly. That means you must answer questions and keep the comments on track, don't let people start talking about unrelated topics.
- Lastly, for extra credit (1 point a post) students can encourage parents to post comments on the threads that already exist or post new theads. If internet access is an issue, please see me.

Ms. Kreitinger, as a parent of an 8th grade student, a school board member, and an author myself, I am very excited to see the Language Arts Book Review wiki online. I believe that language arts are so important in everything we do in our lives - whether we are using communication skills in our jobs, becoming informed about national or local events, or simply enjoying a brief respite from this hectic world in which we live as we crawl into a great book for needful escapism. Communication is vital in almost every moment of every day - and at the root of this communication, I believe, lies reading. I look forward to seeing the choices the 8th grade students make in reading material - the possibilities are endless! - and I am even more excited to read how the individual students relate to what they have read.
Reading a book is like building a relationship in many ways. The writer brings much of his or her life to the writing - but the reader also is very important in what they bring to each book - their personal experiences, their interests, their sentiment and intelligence. I am excited to see what your students will bring to their reading. Thanks and happy wiki!
