At this low-prep library center, students write, edit, and share book reviews through the school library catalog system (e.g. Destiny® Discover, etc). Alternatively, students can publish their book reviews on a class website or an online book review website such as Bookopolis, Biblionasium, or DogoBooks (may require a paid membership or subscription).
Tech Requirements:
Publishing book reviews on your school library catalog requires up-to-date Destiny® web-based library management software, or similar online library catalog software, AND students most likely need usernames and passwords to login to the online catalog. Check with your tech department to make sure your students can access the book review writing features.
